Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The NCCAM classifies individual integrative therapies into four categories: mindbody medicine, biologically based practice, manipulative and body-based practice, and energy medicine. The manipulative and body-based practice modalities focus on the manipulation or movement of one or more body parts.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Practitioners give minerals, plant extracts, chemicals, and disease-producing germs in minute doses to effect a cure, when these same substances can cause illness in larger doses. For example, they may give arsenicum (arsenic) in minute doses for digestive problems. Practitioners select therapies based on how closely symptoms produced by a remedy match the symptoms of the client's disease (principle of similars).
