Answer to Question 1

ANS: D, E
Alternative or complementary therapies are expanding because of consumer demand, although reimbursement for these services is lagging. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine is currently researching their effects on health and disease. Training and licensure requirements vary widely. Many nurses have incorporated alternative therapies into their practice and seek more continuing education on such care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
There is a consensus in the literature that there are four core functions that delineate case management: assessment, planning, facilitation, and advocacy.
