Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Clinicians must document use of herbs in clients taking psychotropic medications to avoid negative events such as overdose, toxicity, and interactions. Unregulated or inappropriate use of traditional medicines can be dangerous. Western-style medicine and traditional medicine are not necessarily incompatible, although precautions must be taken. Sudden cessation of medication can be dangerous and would never be unilaterally undertaken by the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Spirituality has been described as a person's experience of, or belief in, a power apart from his or her own existence. It is the individual's sense of relationship or connection with a power or force, which may or may not be a deity. Broad associations include belief in a power greater than oneself, a system of ethics, a purpose in life, the ability to forgive, gratitude for life, the ability to find meaning in suffering, trust in providence, and faith. Beliefs in God and in an afterlife are not universal.
