Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Ginkgo biloba extract is used primarily for increasing cerebral blood flow, particularly in geriatric patients. Conditions treated are short-term memory loss, headache, dizziness, tinnitus, and emotional instability with anxiety. Ginger is used to relieve nausea. Green tea has antioxidant effects. Feverfew is used to relieve migraines.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Black cohosh is used to reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea, and menopause. Therapy is not recommended for longer than 6 months. Because of its effect of relaxing the uterus, black cohosh is not used in pregnant women. Black cohosh does not affect the GI system or relieve migraines.
