Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The NCCAM classifies individual integrative therapies into four categories: mindbody medicine, biologically based practice, manipulative and body-based practice, and energy medicine. The manipulative and body-based practice modalities focus on the manipulation or movement of one or more body parts.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Practitioners give minerals, plant extracts, chemicals, and disease-producing germs in minute doses to effect a cure, when these same substances can cause illness in larger doses. For example, they may give arsenicum (arsenic) in minute doses for digestive problems. Practitioners select therapies based on how closely symptoms produced by a remedy match the symptoms of the client's disease (principle of similars).

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
