Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4
Nurses need to be knowledgeable about the different potential benefits of complementary alternative medicine therapies including costs, client knowledge, and drug interactions. Frequency of use, location of providers, and length of time used are not necessarily important for the nurse to be aware.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 5
Elements of activities of daily living include nutrition/metabolic patterns, elimination patterns, activity/exercise patterns, sleep/rest patterns, and cognition/perception patterns. Self-identity is included within the psychosocial history. Values is an independent section within the health history.
