Answer to Question 1

C
The client is using complementary therapy. The biofeedback is used to complement biomedical interventions (e.g. analgesic medication). Alternative therapy is used instead of biomedicine, not in conjunction with it. Biomedicine involves only the analgesic medication part of this scenario. Biofeedback is not considered herbal therapy.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Families with a history of leukemia might find cord blood banking useful because cord blood, like bone marrow and embryonic tissue, contains regenerative stem cells, which can replace diseased cells in the affected individual.
2. A family with a history of infertility, or one that wishes to select the sex of a future child or avoid a future intrauterine surgery, would not be helped by cord blood banking.
3. A family with a history of infertility, or one that wishes to select the sex of a future child or avoid a future intrauterine surgery, would not be helped by cord blood banking.
4. A family with a history of infertility, or one that wishes to select the sex of a future child or avoid a future intrauterine surgery, would not be helped by cord blood banking.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.

The cure for trichomoniasis is easy as long as the patient does not drink alcoholic beverages for 24 hours. Just a single dose of medication is needed to rid the body of the disease. However, without proper precautions, an individual may contract the disease repeatedly. In fact, most people develop trichomoniasis again within three months of their last treatment.
