Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Therapeutic horseback riding, or hippotherapy, is the use of the rhythmic movement of the horse to increase sensory processing and improve posture, balance, and mobility in people with movement dysfunctions.
Rationale 2: Hypnotherapy is an advanced form of relaxation and can be used to help people gain self-control, improve self-esteem, and become more autonomous.
Rationale 3: Chelation therapy is the introduction of chemicals into the bloodstream that bind with heavy metals in the body.
Rationale 4: Detoxification is based on the belief that physical impurities and toxins must be cleared from the body to achieve better health.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Biofeedback is a relaxation technique that uses electronic equipment to amplify the electrochemical energy produced by body responses.
Rationale 2: Quiet, soothing music without words is often used to induce relaxation. Music therapy can be used in a variety of settings, without much added cost and little extra work on the part of staff. In this particular setting, the music may help to soothe the residents and promote a sense of balance or harmony on the unit. If it doesn't work, there is not much energy expended on the staff's behalf.
Rationale 3: Pilates is a method of physical movement and exercises designed to stretch, strengthen, and balance the body.
Rationale 4: Spiritual therapy includes prayer and faith practices to promote healing.
