Answer to Question 1

1
Naturopathy is a medical system that focuses on supporting health rather than fighting diseases. An example of a naturopathic treatment is hydrotherapy. Homeopathy is a medical system that is used for wellness and prevention and utilizes natural substances such as herbs to treat health concerns. Heroic medicine is the use of aggressive medical practices or methods of treatment. Osteopathy uses a full spectrum of medical treatments to include medication, surgery, and manipulation.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4, 6
The AGREE Instrument for Assessing Guidelines outlines the primary facets of the clinical practice guideline being appraised for adoption. It includes the following criteria: scope and purpose, stakeholder involvement, rigor of development, clarity and presentation, application, and editorial independence. Author credentials is not a criteria of this checklist.
