Answer to Question 1
B
CAM remedies are usually natural substances, but it is a fallacy that products purchased at a health food store are safer to use than conventional medicines. Some natural products contain powerful ingredients that can cause illness and damage to the body if taken inappropriately, and for some persons, can be dangerous even when used as directed. This is the most important message for the nurse to convey to the patient. So-called natural substances are not necessarily safer, and a number have significant side effects. Natural substances may give one the belief that he is controlling his own treatment, but that is not the message that most needs to be communicated here.
Answer to Question 2
C
Milieu management provides a therapeutic environment in which the patient can feel comfortable and safe while engaging in activities that meet a patient's physical and mental health needs. Counseling refers to activities designed to promote problem solving and enhanced coping and includes interviewing, crisis intervention, stress management, and conflict resolution. Health teaching involves identifying health education needs and giving information about these needs. Integrative therapy, along with pharmacological and biological interventions, is an aspect of Standard 5D.
