Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Integrative medicine refers to a practice that combines both conventional and CAM treatments for which there is high-quality scientific evidence of safety and effectiveness. Yoga and meditation have been proven scientifically to help with the treatment of depression. Complementary medicine refers to the use of CAM in conjunction with conventional medicine. Alternative medicine refers to the use of CAM in place of conventional medicine. Allopathic medicine is traditional medicine.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2, 3
Explanation: Assessment of the patient's current level of anxiety, history of use and success with CAM therapies, and current treatment regimen will guide the nurse in helping the patient determine whether a CAM therapy may be beneficial and will decrease the likelihood of any contraindications between CAM therapies and the patient's current treatment regimen. History of the patient's adherence to a treatment regimen is not necessary to guide the nurse in helping the patient determine whether a CAM therapy may be beneficial. The patient is asking the nurse about possible CAM therapy; therefore, it is not necessary to assess the patient's beliefs to determine whether a CAM therapy may be beneficial.
