During assessment, the client tells the nurse that she eats a natural food-high vitamin diet, exer-cises 30 minutes daily, uses meditation, uses yoga techniques for stress reduction, and takes pre-scribed antihypertensive medication.
 
  The nurse would assess that number of CAM therapies the client uses as:
  1. Four
  2. Three
  3. Two
  4. One

Question 2

Which statement made by a nurse discussing alternative and conventional therapies supports the holistic philosophy that mind-body interrelationships influence wellness?
 
  1. Widowed persons have higher death rates than married people of the same age have.
  2. Alternative therapy is often less expensive than conventional medical treatment.
  3. Personal values and misconceptions are barriers to use of alternative therapy in the Western world.
  4. The development of lung cancer is strongly influenced by environmental fac-tors.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
CAM therapies include diet, exercise, yoga, and meditation. Only the prescribed antihypertensive medication would be considered conventional medical treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
The mind's influence on the body is suggested by the statistics that married individuals live longer. It is hypothesized that the sense of security and benefits of companionship from marriage may be protective against disease. The other statements are true, but have no bearing on mind-body relationships.
