Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Strategies should focus on non-violent methods. Some anger management interventions include expressing feelings in a calm, non-confrontational manner; exercising; identifying potential solutions; taking a time out; forgiving; diffusing the situation with humor; owning one's feelings; and breathing deeply.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Alternative therapies are used in place of medical treatment. These types of interventions are useful when patients are experiencing physiologic and psychological responses to stress. Some complementary and alternative therapies such as therapeutic touch, Reiki, biofeedback, and massage therapy require additional certification and training, whereas muscle relaxation and guided imagery do not.
