Answer to Question 1

A
For therapeutic questioning, the nurse should use open-ended questions to yield the most information. The question ending in Do you use both? is a yes/no question that will likely elicit very little information. Although the option ending in Tell me about the practitioners you see for healthcare, seems open ended, the negative use of only (only go to a medical physician) implies that there is not another acceptable answer, thus decreasing the information the patient may share. You don't use CAM, do you? is a negative, closed question. It suggests that the patient should answer No, and almost certainly will elicit a one-word answer.

Answer to Question 2

B
Patients may use CAM therapies even if there is no accurate evidence on which to base their effectiveness or safety. Therefore, the nurse needs to look at empirical research to guide the nurse, patient, and healthcare provider in using these therapies. The other responses negate the importance of research data in the use of CAM, although they do suggest issues that can improve the effectiveness of any therapy (i.e., cultural sensitivity, the patient wants to use them).
