Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Bioelectromagnetic-based techniques such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation are forms of energy therapy that use pulsed fields, alternating-current or direct-current fields, or electromagnetic fields to treat conditions such as cancer, asthma, migraine headaches, or other pain.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Holistic nursing involves caring for the whole person and is based on the philosophy that there is an interconnectedness among biologic, psychological, social, cultural, relationship, contextual, environmental, and spiritual dimensions of the person. Holistic nursing is not premised on the inadequacies of Western medicine. Respect for clients' insights and opinions is an important component of holistic care, but this is not the foundation of the philosophy. In some ways, healing is prioritized over curing within holistic practice.
