Answer to Question 1

C
The term complementary was proposed to describe therapies that can be used to complement or support conventional treatments. Spirituality, prayer, guided imagery, massage, and animal-assisted therapy are all examples of complementary care. Alternative denotes that a specific therapy is an option or alternative to what is considered conventional treatment of a condition or state. Holistic care focuses on human integrity and stresses that the body, mind, and spirit are interdependent and inseparable. Individualized care recognizes the uniqueness of each patient's preferences, condition, and physiologic and psychosocial status.

Answer to Question 2

D
The AACN has promulgated several evidence-based practice summaries in the form of Practice Alerts. Evidence-based nursing practice considers the best research evidence on the care topic along with clinical expertise of the nurse, and patient preferences. Critical care protocol and practice policies are established by individual institutions.
