Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Complementary therapies teach individuals ways in which to change their behavior to alter phys-ical responses to stress and improve symptoms such as muscle tension, gastrointestinal discom-fort, pain, or sleep disturbances. While one of the options appears too flippant an answer, the re-maining options may be true but do not address the question as thoroughly.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Nurses' lack of education about how to apply complementary techniques seems to be a barrier to their use of effective nonpharmacological interventions.
