Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Curing is described as the alleviation of symptoms or the suppression or termination of a disease process through surgical, chemical, or mechanical intervention. Healing is defined as a gradual or spontaneous awakening that originates within a person and results in a deeper sense of self, effecting profound change. While the two terms are not synonymous, healing does not take place solely in the absence of curing.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, C, D
Examples of alternative and complementary therapies used to control pain include hypnosis, guided imagery, and acupuncture. Opioids and NSAIDS are not alternative or complementary therapies.
