Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse's next step would be to administer oxytocin (Pitocin) according to p.r.n. order. Oxytocin causes the uterus to contract.

Answer to Question 2

B
The client is most likely referring to Reiki a form of energy-based therapy. Reiki is based on the Tibetan Sutras (ancient sacred texts) and was reintroduced into Japan by Usui in the 1800s (Stewart, 1995). With this type of therapy, the healer channels universal healing energy through the hands, which can be placed directly on or held at a distance from the client. The healer does not direct the energy but holds the intent to heal. The energy then goes to where it is needed. This modality also uses a technique for distance healing.
