Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Healing Touch involves the use of the practitioner's hands to realign the patient's energy flow. The other options describe other complementary and alternative therapies (CATs) such as massage, chiropractic therapy, and acupressure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The sales personnel at a health food store are not necessarily a reliable source of information. The patient may need some teaching about the safe use of herbal remedies. The other information given by the patient indicates appropriate use of complementary and alternative therapies.
