Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Magnet therapy, therapeutic touch, healing touch, Reiki, and Qi Gong are energy complementary and alternative medicine category-based therapies. Herbs, vitamins, and organic whole foods are biologically-based therapies. Mind-body therapies use prayer, guided self-healing, meditation, and art, music, and dance therapy. Manipulative body-based therapies use cranial-sacral therapy, massage therapy, osteopathic manipulation, and chiropractic therapy.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3

In 1972, nurse Dolores Krieger introduced a new modality for healing called therapeutic touch. There are four phases to Krieger's therapeutic touch session: (1) centering oneself physically and psychologically to prepare for the healing session, (2) preparing the field of energy for therapeutic touch through sensitizing the hands to detect subtle changes in energy flow, (3) mobilizing the energy in the client's field that may be stuck or congested by laying on hands, and (4) helping the client to re-pattern his or her energy through the use of healer's excess energy. Herbal remedies are not part of Krieger's therapeutic touch modalities. Emptying the mind to focus on a pleasant experience is a part of guided imagery.
