A client tells a nurse that she is considering using herbal supplements in addition to her prescription medications. What would be the nurse's best response?

“It is never permissible to use herbal supplements with prescription medications."

"Herbs are not classified as drugs in the United States, so there is no contraindication to using them."

“I will refer you to an herbalist who can help you decide which medications you can take."

"Herbs have pharmacologic effects on the body and can interact with some prescription medications."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

B. Herbs can have pharmacologic effects and may interact with prescription medications, even if they are not classified as drugs in the U.S.
