Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
A health care provider who uses integrative care uses some combination of allopathic medicine and CAT. Integrative care does not mean using allopathic medicine to treat clients of all age groups; CAT is not a physician-prescribed medication.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Alternative therapies, such as herbs, are used most frequently for chronic conditions such as depression or headaches. However, certain herbs may interact with each other or with prescribed medications, causing negative effects. For this reason, the nurse must ask further questions about the type of herb as well as the frequency of use.
