Answer to Question 1

B
CAM practitioners often spend considerable time assessing the person in a holistic way. Visits typically involve lengthy discussions, in contrast to traditional physician visits, where contact is often brief. CAM remedies can sometimes be invasive or slightly painful, but usually they are noninvasive and well tolerated. Some CAM practices are very spiritually focused, but most do not have overt religious elements. There is research support, at least to a degree, of a number of CAM approaches, although only for limited health needs.

Answer to Question 2

B
Improvement in the child's hyperactivity, distractibility, and play indicates the medication was effective. The distracters are more relevant for a child with pervasive developmental disorder or anxiety disorder.
