Answer to Question 1

C
Therapeutic massage is an extension of massage therapy techniques involving deep tissue and advanced massage techniques. Stimulating the skin and underlying tissue to increase circulation describes a regular massage, a psychophysiological state with parasympathetic responses to produce relaxation describes hypnosis, and the use of energy interventions to touch the person's energy fields for calming describes therapeutic touch.

Answer to Question 2

D
Many children with autism do not respond to physical illnesses. Therefore, the nurse should teach parents to be very observant because their children may not respond in the typical manner. If parents suspect an illness, action should be taken immediately to provide their children with the medical help they may need.
