Answer to Question 1

D
Accommodation involves including neutral health practices in the patient's plan of care. A diet that addresses correcting yin and yang imbalance would probably be psychologically helpful and would not be likely to interfere with Western medical treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

Answer to Question 2

B
Withdrawal is a common response to illness. The individual removes himself from others and refuses to interact. The other options are also common emotional responses to illness: anxiety is described as feelings of uneasiness and apprehension; shock refers to an overwhelmed feeling with inability to process information; and anger is an emotional response that may be directed inward or outward.
