Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Physical therapy and occupational therapy are forms of rehabilitation used after disease or injury. Chiropractic therapy manipulates the spinal column and joints to treat pain and certain disorders. Herbalists promote health through the use of herbs and other plants in the treatment of diseases. Acupuncture therapy includes the use of very fine needles inserted into specific energy points underneath the skin to balance the body's flow of energy.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A lack of iodine in the body could cause a decrease in thyroid function over a period of time. Goiter is often a later consequence of insufficient iodine. Deficiency of iron causes anemia, not goiter. Deficiency of potassium causes hypokalemia, not goiter. Deficiency of sodium causes hypernatremia, not goiter.
