Answer to Question 1

3
Defining characteristics for ineffective health maintenance includes impairment of personal support systems, observed inability to take responsibility for meeting basic health practices, demonstrated lack of knowledge, failure to recognize important symptoms reflective to altered health status, lack of health-seeking behaviors, and inadequate resources. Inadequate resources and impairment of personal support systems would not support the nursing diagnoses of Noncompliance, Deficient Knowledge, or Health-Seeking Behavior.

Answer to Question 2

2, 4, 6
Osteopathy originally used manipulative techniques for correcting physical abnormalities thought to cause disease. Osteopathy now uses the full spectrum of medicine, including the use of surgery and medications in addition to manipulation to treat illnesses.
