b. More recent studies indicate gingko does not help memory problems.
c. Valerian has been shown to have better effects for treating memory
problems.
d. Your memory problems are related to your circulation problems. Herbs
will not help. - Answer✔️✔️-b. More recent studies indicate gingko does not

other distracters are misleading.

fraudulently marketed. Some may even be harmful. Some over-the-counter
products can be useful, and patients do not need a prescription for these
products. The broader issue is safety and efficacy, rather than whether the
patient is trying to self-medicate.

resource should the nurse suggest for the most reliable information?
a. Internet

(NCCAM) - Answer✔️✔️-d. National Center for Complementary and
Alternative Medicine (NCCAM)

clearinghouse from which individuals may request information. The FDA
has information, but it is not as extensive as NCCAM. The Internet has
many resources but some are unreliable. The ANA does not provide
extensive information about this topic.
