Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Regarding clients and their use of natural products, it is noted that clients do not always reveal their use of natural products. Only one third of clients are providing information regarding complementary therapies. In addition, not all biologically-based therapies are safe for all clients. Clients are not always aware that there may be contraindications. The Food and Drug Administration does not monitor herbal remedies, and labeling is usually minimal and may not indicate contraindications. Another challenge is that clients are not aware that natural products may be hazardous to their health, and nurses must always stress the importance of disclosure.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Chiropractic medicine, massage, osteopathic manipulation, and naturopathy are manipulative body-based complementary and alternative medicine category-based therapies. Herbs, vitamins, and organic whole foods are biologically-based therapies. Mind-body therapies use prayer, guided self-healing, meditation, and art, music, and dance therapy. Energy therapies use magnet therapy, therapeutic touch, healing touch, Reiki, and Qui Gong.
