Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Many oriental clients believe illness is due to imbalance of yin and yang. Herbal mixtures are prescribed according to their yin or yang characteristics (hot or cold) in order to rebalance yin and yang. 1. Hot and cold properties do not refer to thermal properties in this case. 3. Divining by shamans is not part of the oriental medical tradition. 4. For the most part, the substances used are not disruptive of conventional therapy but are complementary.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Herbal preparations are presently in common use. Nurses must include assessment of herbal use and be cognizant of herb-drug interactions in order to provide safe, effective care. 1. This will not be a mandatory nursing technique in the near future. 3. This will not be a requirement. 4. Manual healing includes osteopathy, chiropractic, massage, reflexology, etc. It is unlikely that nurses will use more of these techniques in the near future.
