Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Therapeutic touch, a healing method used by thousands of nurses and other professionals, was developed more than 30 years ago by Dora Kunz, a healer, and Dolores Krieger, an emeritus member of New York University's nursing faculty.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
It is important for clients to understand that herbs can have side effects and can interact with prescription medications. Standardization of the herb's constituents is useful, but also limited because not all the compounds or the required levels are known. Thus, the purity and dosage contents may not be equal between herbs. Herbal products cannot make therapeutic and prevention claims. There is no current licensing body for herbalists.
