Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Alternative therapies are treatments and health care practices that are not widely taught in Western medical schools, not generally used in Western hospitals, and not generally reim-bursed by health insurance. There are valuable forms of alternative therapies. Alternative therapies have not been widely researched. No evidence supports the statement regarding preventive measures.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
All groups progress through the phases of development that are governed by group dynamics and include orientation where goals are identified, conflict where leadership is determined and tested, cohesion where a sense of safety is achieved, and termination where discharge concerns are acted out and addressed. Family input may not necessarily be introduced unless it was a defined goal of the group.
