Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The most appropriate response by the nurse is to educate the client on the medical philosophy that acupuncture stimulates the body's release of endorphins. Acupuncture has been found to be effective in the treatment of asthma, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and many other conditions.

Answer to Question 2

C
The Hill-Burton Act provided money for the construction of psychiatric units in the United States. Research on drugs was not a part of the Hill-Burton Act. Training of mental health professionals was funded by the National Mental Health Act of 1946, and community mental health centers were not instituted until the 1960s.
