Answer to Question 1
ANS: B
Grounded in six principles, integrative nursing is defined as a way of being-knowing-doing that advances the health and well-being of persons, families, and communities through caring-healing relationships. Integrative nurses use evidence to inform traditional and emerging interventions that support whole person/whole systems healing. Holistic nursing treats the mind-body-spirit of the patient, using interventions such as relaxation therapy, music therapy, touch therapies, and guided imagery. Integrative health care, a strategy that is gaining popularity, involves interprofessional group practices where patients receive care simultaneously from more than one type of practitioner; nurses must interact with other health care professionals for any type of nursing. An integrative nurse will use complementary and alternative therapies to provide integrative nursing.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: C
Beliefs and values that are consistent with an approach to health that incorporates the mind, body, and spirit comprise the holistic approach. Holistic nursing treats the mind-body-spirit of the patient, using interventions such as relaxation therapy, music therapy, touch therapies, and guided imagery. Spiritual treatments are a part of holistic care but not the priority. A vegan diet is an aspect of dietary treatment, but it does not allow for alternative viewpoints or well-rounded care. A holistic nurse may use complementary and alternative therapies to meet the priority goal of incorporating body-mind-spirit.
