Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Tribal traditions are individualistic, but similarities across traditions include the use of sweating and purging, herbal remedies, and ceremonies in which a shaman (a spiritual healer) makes contact with spirits to ask their direction in bringing healing to people to promote wholeness and healing. Naturopathic therapeutics include herbal medicine, nutritional supplementation, physical medicine, homeopathy, lifestyle counseling, and mind-body therapies with an orientation toward assisting the person's internal capacity for self-healing (vitalism). One of the oldest systems of medicine (Ayurvedic) has been practiced in India since the first century AD. Curanderismo is a Latin American traditional healing system that includes a humoral model for classifying food, activity, drugs, and illnesses and a series of folk illnesses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
An integrative medical program allows health care consumers to be treated by a team of providers consisting of both allopathic and complementary practitioners. Several therapies are always considered alternative because they are based on completely different philosophies and life systems from those used by allopathic medicine. Alternative therapies include ayurvedic, homeopathic, and naturopathic.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
