Answer to Question 1

A
Acupuncture involves the insertion of needles to modulate the flow of body energy (chi) along
specific body pathways called meridians. Option B refers to homeopathy. Option C refers to
chiropractic. Option D: Traditional Chinese medicine is more concerned with balance than with
natural versus synthetic treatments.

Answer to Question 2

C
Substance abuse, regardless of the drug used, offers a variety of ways an individual might sustain
injury: falls, skin infection, aspiration, etc. The defining characteristics for the other nursing
diagnoses are not universally present among substance abusers.
