Answer to Question 1

D
Folk medicine is highly personalized; the descriptors fragmented, impersonal, and disjointed more often are associated with the Western medicine approach to health care.

Answer to Question 2

A
Safety is of highest priority because the patient experiencing panic is at high risk for self-injury related to increased non-goal-directed motor activity, distorted perceptions, and disordered thoughts. Option B: The goal should be to decrease environmental stimuli. Option C is a lower priority than safety. Option D: Clarification of feelings cannot take place until the level of anxiety is lowered.
