A. Aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs interact with
ginkgo
B. nausea and diarrhea can occur when using this supplement
C. anxiety and headaches increased with use of ginkgo
D. ginkgo biloba use should be limited and not taken during pregnancy
Correct Answer: D. ginkgo biloba use should be limited and not
taken during pregnancy
Expert Rationale:
Providing safety information on the limitations of ginkgo biloba,
,especially regarding pregnancy, is essential due to potential
teratogenic effects and
, bleeding risks. While interactions with NSAIDs and aspirin are
important, the priority teaching addresses when use is
contraindicated. Educating the client about adverse effects
should complement but not overshadow safety warnings.
