Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Nurses should be aware that use of the herb kava (Piper methysticum) is associated with liver damage (Fontaine, 2004) and should not be recommended to clients.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Qi is the vital life force in the body. Yin-yang is the interaction of opposing forces (hot/cold, male/female, light/dark). Health results from a balance of qi and yin and yang. Chakras are commonly described as energy centers in the spine and are considered to be a point of metaphysical energy of the human body. Meridians are interconnected channels that the body's vital energy circulates on according to traditional Chinese medicine.
