Answer to Question 1

Mind-body therapies are a variety of techniques to facilitate the mind's capacity to affect the body and various symptoms. Biofeedback is one type of mind-body therapy. Biological therapies use naturally occurring substances such as herbal medicine. Body-based therapies are based on manipulation or movement of one or more body parts. Energy therapy use energy fields to increase the flow of energy throughout the body.

Answer to Question 2

The ideal base for writing clinical guidelines are evidence summaries because they increase the power and validity of the cause-and-effect relationship between interventions and outcomes. Current client census, nursing department budgets, and staffing ratios are not used to write clinical practice guidelines.
