Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A
Nurses must continually learn the research findings related to CAM because nurses play an important role in educating consumers about the evidence supporting these new therapies as well as about the dangers involved in using some of them. Evidence-based outcomes provide more information about efficacy, tolerability, dosage, safety, and interactions with other treatments.
