Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The active component of genuineness requires one to be honest with another; an example of this is the nurse acknowledging feelings of anxiety to a client.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Music can be effectively used in conjunction with guided imagery to lower blood pressure 10 to 20 points. Soothing music produces endorphins (natural opiates) in the brain. Sleeping and doing nothing are not CAM modalities. Receiving massage may or may not contribute to lowered blood pressure.
