Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Tai chi incorporates breathing; gentle, flowing movements; and meditation to cleanse, strengthen, and circulate vital life energy and blood. Therapy stimulates the immune system and maintains external and internal balance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Clients who are compliant with appointments, practice times, and goal setting and basically take responsibility for their treatment tend to be the most successful since it provides a sense of con-trol over the situation. The remaining options identify individual aspects of that control.
