The statement that is most therapeutic and accurate is "healing is
slow in complementary therapy..." Many people use complementary
therapy along with conventional medical interventions for most
diseases and experience no adverse effects. Complementary therapy
may not be covered by the client's insurance plan, but that is not a
therapeutic statement and cuts off further discussion.
Question 2 1..66 pts
A client inquires about the use of herbal therapy. Which statement by the
nurse is most accurate?
"All herbs are equal in purity, so purchase the cheapest brand."
Correct!
"Herbs can have side effects and can interact with prescription medications."
"Be sure to pay attention to the packaging's therapeutic and prevention
information."
"It is best if you select a licensed herbalist as a practitioner."
It is important for clients to understand that herbs can have side
effects and can interact with prescription medications. Standardization
of the herb's constituents is useful, but also limited because not all the
compounds or the required levels are known. Thus, the purity and
dosage contents may not be equal between herbs. Herbal products
cannot make therapeutic and prevention claims. There is no current
licensing body for herbalists.

A client interested in acupuncture asks a nurse, "Just exactly what does it
do?" What would the nurse explain?
"Acupuncture is based on a philosophy of laying on of hands."
"I don't think it does anything, so I don't know anything about it."
"It uses a manual process of adjusting the spine."
Correct!
"It changes the flow of energy and helps healing."
Acupuncture is based on a belief in energy circuits that nourish and
supply all cells and organs of the body. By placing needles at
particular acupuncture points, the flow of energy is either increased or
decreased, contributing to healing. Manual manipulation is manual
process of adjusting of the spine. Praying is laying of a person's
hands on another.

Alternative therapies, such as herbs, are used most frequently for
chronic conditions such as depression or headaches. However,
certain herbs may interact with each other or with prescribed
medications, causing negative effects. For this reason, the nurse must
ask further questions about the type of herb, as well as the frequency
of use. Massage, relaxation, and meditation are other alternative
therapies.
Question 5 1..66 pts
A nurse is practicing imagery to relieve stress. What might accompany the
imagery to even further promote relaxation?
Bright lighting
Bodywork techniques

Correct! Listening to music
Music has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing pain, decreasing
anxiety, promoting relaxation, and distracting from unpleasant
sensations. The other choices are not appropriate for promoting
relaxation.
