Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Manipulative body-based therapies include cranial-sacral therapy, massage therapy, osteopathic therapy, and chiropractic therapy. Mind-body therapies use prayer, guided self-healing, meditation, and art, music, and dance therapy. Biologically-based therapies use substances found in nature such as herbal medicine, vitamins, and whole and organic foods. Energy therapies use magnet therapy, therapeutic touch, healing touch, Reiki, and Qui Gong.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4

The mission of NCCAM includes exploring complementary and alternative healing practices within the context of rigorous science, training complementary and alternative medicine researchers, and disseminating authoritative information to the public and professionals. The American Holistic Nurses' Certification Corporation offers certification for nurses in holistic nursing. NCCAM does not provide reimbursement and billing strategies for CAM therapy.
