Question 1 of 5
A nurse is obtaining a medication history from a client who has systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and reports taking several herbal supplements daily. The nurse should identify that SLE is a contraindication for taking which of the following herbal supplements?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Echinacea. Echinacea can stimulate the immune system, which can exacerbate the immune system dysfunction in SLE. This can lead to increased inflammation and potentially worsen SLE symptoms. Flaxseed, ginger, and glucosamine do not have known contraindications specifically related to SLE. Flaxseed is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which may even have anti-inflammatory effects that could benefit SLE patients. Ginger is commonly used for its anti-inflammatory properties and can be safe for SLE patients in moderate amounts. Glucosamine is typically used for joint health and has not been shown to negatively impact SLE.
