Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A The most important concept of TCM is the concept of yin and yang, which represents opposing, yet complementary phenomena that exist in a state of dynamic equilibrium. It is thought that disease occurs when an imbalance exists in these two paired opposites.
B Meridians are the channels of energy that run in regular patterns through the body and over its surface. This is not the primary concept of TCM.
C The six evil senses are external causes of disease according to TCM. They are wind, cold, fire, damp, summer heat, and dryness. This is not the primary concept upon which TCM is based.
D Acupoints are certain points on the body where special needles are inserted to modify the perception of pain, normalize physiological functions, or treat or prevent disease. Acupuncture is just one healing modality used in TCM. It is not the primary concept upon which TCM is based.

Answer to Question 2

B
Mellon and colleagues (2006) interviewed cancer survivors and their family caregivers, and found that two of the strongest predictors for cancer survivors' quality of life were family stress-ors and social support.
Pre-cancer physical and mental health status may affect the survivor's physical recovery from treatment, but not his or her quality of life.
The quality and type of cancer treatment received may affect the survivor's chances of survival, but not his or her quality of life.
The type and number of cancer-related risk factors that the client possesses may affect the survi-vor's chances of survival, but not his or her quality of life.
