In explaining alternative therapies to a client, the nurse may correctly say that these therapies:
 
  1. Are not widely used in hospitals or reimbursed by insurance
  2. Are often quackery and of little real value to those who use them
  3. Have been widely researched and can take their place with allopathic medicine
  4. Are more effective if used as preventive measures than if used for cure

Question 2

A client complains of little change in her blood pressure even though she has been doing the bio-feedback exercises.
 
  She states, The machine has not been successful. The nurse tells her she will observe the next session. The nurse is aware that:
  1. Biofeedback assists the individual to consciously lower blood pressure
  2. The machine is a critical component of biofeedback during all phases
  3. A client's muscle responses determine the success of biofeedback
  4. The client's mood affects the results of biofeedback

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Alternative therapies are treatments and health care practices that are not widely taught in West-ern medical schools, not generally used in Western hospitals, and not generally reimbursed by health insurance. Option 2 does not reflect a holistic viewpoint. Option 3 is untrue; alternative therapies have not been widely researched. Option 4: No evidence supports this statement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
With biofeedback, a client can learn to gain conscious control over bodily responses thought to be beyond voluntary command. Listening to the monitoring device makes the client aware of whether or not the mental exercises, breathing, or other techniques being used are effective. The signal reinforces effective use of the technique until the technique literally becomes second na-ture and the monitor is no longer needed. 2. The machine is only needed early in therapy. 3. This is not entirely true; sometimes the machine is set to monitor other parameters. 4. Biofeedback tends to lower anxiety.
