Choice C rationale

Asking about medication safety practices does not directly relate to the types of medications the patient is taking.

Choice D rationale

It is important to ask about herbs, vitamins, or supplements as these can interact with prescribed medications and affect the patient's health.

Over-the-counter (OTC) medications can also have significant interactions with prescription drugs and impact the patient's overall health and treatment plan.
