Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Mind-body therapies include imagery, meditation, storytelling, music therapy, and yoga-all of which are complementary therapies that bring balance to thoughts and emotions. Practice of one or more mind-body therapies is an effective self-care strategy to help restore peace and balance. The other three options are not considered mind-body therapies.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Attention to spiritual needs is part of compassionate care, particularly in the face of death and bereavement. Technical skills, experience, and writing abilities focus on competency of the nurse. Giving routine back rubs focuses on comfort. All of these are important aspects of nursing care.
