Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Concentrative meditation is probably the most familiar. The person focuses on an internal or external object. Receptive meditation refers to being mindful and aware of the present moment. Reflective meditation involves gaining insight into one's own thoughts and experiences. Expressive meditation involves actual movement, such as dance.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Conveying an open and nonjudgmental attitude is a key to accurate collection of this information. This begins with the initial contact with a client and includes a basic assessment of the client's use of CAM. A basic question asking to share information about prescription and supplements conveys acceptance. If the nurse ask about discussion with a health care provider, the client may infer either approval or disapproval of supplement use. If the nurse states that supplements can be harmful, the client may infer disapproval of their use. Conversely, if the nurse states that supplements are helpful, the client may infer approval.
