Answer to Question 1

A
The function of the NCCAM is to seek scientific validation of CAM and also be a resource for the public for CAM therapies. The other options are not representative of the functions of NCCAM.

Answer to Question 2

B
Asking the patient to talk about what led him to visit to the clinic will help the patient identify the precipitating event. The precipitating event must be identified before planning, goal setting, and intervention can take place. Pointing out that his reticence interferes with treatment does not address any of the reasons he is having difficulty speaking; instead, it adds to the pressure he is already experiencing. Focusing on supports and coping skills is part of the assessment but does not address the precipitating event.
