Answer to Question 1

D
This is an example of complementary medicine, combining a non-Western healing approach (acupuncture) used at the same time as conventional medicine (spine clinic). Traditional medicine would mean only attending the spine clinic and perhaps physical therapy. Integrative medicine merges conventional medicine with complementary and alternative therapies for which efficacy and safety have been established using scientific methods. Alternative medicine replaces traditional Western methods with non-Western healing approaches.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The carbohydrate used in parenteral solutions in the United States is dextrose monohydrate. Galactose is not used.
