Answer to Question 1

A
Progressive relaxation is noninvasive in that it uses deep breathing and conscious muscle relaxation and therefore would not interfere with allopathic methods of treatment. Dietary and herbal supplements can interfere with other medications (allopathic therapy) that may be taken by this client. Aromatherapy could interfere with this client's allopathic treatment if he is being treated for allergies.

Answer to Question 2

D
The complete picture of this client indicates hopelessness as the most accurate nursing diagnosis at this time. The other three options may apply to her at a later time after further evaluation.
