Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Homeopathy uses small doses of a substance to stimulate the body's defenses and healing mechanisms to treat illness. Naturopathy emphasizes health restoration rather than disease. Chiropractic uses manipulation of the body to restore health. Shiatsu is a type of massage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
It would be helpful to incorporate elements of TCM as appropriate, such as acupuncture for pain control. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has the goal of healing in harmony with one's environment and all of creation in mind, body, and spirit, as well as balance of yin and yang energies and a state of transition. However, it would not be helpful to suggest that surgery will balance the yin and the yang, since this is not how balance is achieved in TCM. Transformation is recognized as a stage of healing occurring when mutual, creative, active participation occurs between healers and the patient toward changes in the mind, body, and spirit; but final transformation could imply the end of corporeal life and might be perceived as hastening his demise. Appealing to him to trust persons whose practices are foreign to him conflicts with the patient's values and would not likely be effective.
