Answer to Question 1

A
A living will is a document that provides direction regarding medical care in the event the person is unable to make decisions personally. A durable power of attorney enables any competent individual to name someone to exercise decision-making authority, under specific circumstances, on the individual's behalf. An advance directive provides general information about an individual's personal values, beliefs, and preferences that would be useful in guiding treatment decisions made by health care professionals. An advance care medical directive provides precise instructions for the type of care the client wants or does not want in any number of scenarios.

Acupuncture, acupressure, Chinese herbs, Qi Gong, and taci chi are all modalities within the field of traditional Chinese medicine. Ayurveda is a healing system based on Hindu and Indian philosophy. Shamanism refers to the practice of entering altered states of consciousness with the intent of helping others. Massage is complementary alternative therapy used by many cultures.
