Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Ethically, nurses have an obligation to explain the philosophical foundations underlying various CAM therapies. This is necessary for clients to be fully informed about the treatment. The philosophical underpinnings of the treatment should be compatible with the client's own spiritual beliefs. Informed consent is not normally necessary and there are not appreciable risks associated with meditation. Providing evidence may or may not be beneficial to the client.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Light therapy primarily serves as a treatment for seasonal affective disorder (SAD). This modality exposes clients during the fall and winter months (when natural light is in short supply) to artificial light approximately 200 times stronger than normal indoor lighting. Clients sit in front of a light box or lamp for several hours each week to improve mood and functioning.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
