Answer to Question 1

C
Nurses may use complementary or alternative therapies to promote client well-being, focusing on healing (making whole) rather than curing (treating disease processes). The healing process activates the individual's internal forces, and the nurse can act as a healing facilitator or instrument of healing to the client. As an instrument of healing (a means by which healing can be achieved, performed, or enhanced), a nurse helps a client use inner resources for healing by the attributes of a knowledge base (initiated in nursing school and expanded through lifelong learning); intentionality (having a conscious goal or direction); respect for differences (honoring a client's culturally based health beliefs); and ability to model wellness (caring for oneself and attempting to remain healthy and balanced).

Answer to Question 2

C
The healing process activates the individual's internal forces, and the nurse can act as a healing facilitator or instrument of healing to the client.
