Nurse T works at a public health clinic for aging adults. She presents workshops on good nutrition and other topics focused on wellness in the aging population. After one of the classes, a client asked about using dietary supplements
When answering, the nurse emphasized the fact that a product labeled as "all natural" does not mean that: 1. The product is safe or without harmful effects.
2. The ingredients in the product are not processed.
3. The active ingredients are found naturally in the environment.
4. Only organic substances are used .

Rationale: The claim that products are made of all-natural ingredients does not mean that they are safe or have no harmful side effects. Most ingredients have been processed during manufacturing. All natural does not mean that they are sold in the same form that they are found in the environment or that only organic substances are included.
