Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Eisenberg and associates (1993) focused their studies on assessing the use of alternative medicine modalities. They found that one out of three people were utilizing at least one form of alternative medicine and spending an estimated 27 million on these forms of treatment. The other options were not reported in the work of Eisenberg and associates.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

NCCAM defines biologically-based therapies in CAM as the use of substances found in nature. This includes herbs, vitamins/supplements, and organic whole foods. Mind-body therapies use prayer, guided self-healing, meditation, and art, music, and dance therapy. Manipulative body-based therapies use cranial-sacral therapy, massage therapy, osteopathic manipulation, and chiropractic therapy. Energy therapies use magnet therapy, therapeutic touch, healing touch, Reiki, and Qui Gong.
