Answer to Question 1

1
Acupressure is the stimulation of pressure points on the body to affect a body response. Antiemetic armbands are one example of an acupressure device. Acupuncture uses needles to stimulate identified points to affect a body response. Reiki is the manipulation of energy fields. Guided imagery is the use of relaxation and mental visualization to improve mood or physical well-being.

Answer to Question 2

3
The comprehensive health assessment contains the full health history and physical assessment. This initial assessment is the baseline for future assessment and is used as a comparison. A comprehensive assessment is the initial assessment. Future assessments are not considered the new baseline. Future assessments will not be disregarded.
