Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: Affect is an observable emotion expressed in the moment. Attitude describes an interaction, orientation, or state of attention. Behavior describes social relating and psychomotor activity. Cognition addresses several functions including thought processes, content, memory, and judgment.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: Asking the patient, What therapy do you participate in? is an open-ended question that prompts the patient to explain the types of CAM he or she is using. The other questions are appropriate assessment questions; however, they may not elicit information about all the therapies the patient is using.
