Answer to Question 1

D
This is an example of complementary medicine, combining a non-Western healing approach (acupuncture) used at the same time as conventional medicine (spine clinic). Traditional medicine would mean only attending the spine clinic and perhaps physical therapy. Integrative medicine merges conventional medicine with complementary and alternative therapies for which efficacy and safety have been established using scientific methods. Alternative medicine replaces traditional Western methods with non-Western healing approaches.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The carbohydrate used in parenteral solutions in the United States is dextrose monohydrate. Galactose is not used.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
