Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Yoga and meditation are accepted alternative or complementary therapies for patients with anxiety disorders. Patients report relaxation with use of yoga. There are no untoward side effects of drug-herb interactions with the use of yoga. Untoward effects are possible with ingestion of herbal medicines or homeopathic remedies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Research has shown humor may have positive effects on cognitive ability, heart and respira-tory rates, blood pressure, muscle tension, and pain. Humor does have the effects reflected in the remaining options but none would be the basis for postponing a treatment.
