Accepted Answer

The medication that the nurse anesthetist has to be aware of before surgery is St. John's Wort.Since the time of the ancient Greeks, a plant with yellow blooms known as St. John's wort has been utilized in traditional European medicine. The name St. John's wort appears to be a tribute to John the Baptist given that the plant blooms around the time of St. John the Baptist's feast day in late June.There is a long history of using St. John's wort to treat a variety of conditions, such as kidney and lung issues, insomnia, depression, and the quickening of wound healing.Menopausal symptoms, ADHD, somatic symptom disorder (a disease in which a person has severe, excessive worry over body sensations), obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression are among the conditions for which St. John's wort is advertised as a cure.Learn more about St. John's Wort athttps://brainly.com/question/10805031?referrer=searchResults#SPJ4
