1. Which type of therapy is speculated to affect the ion exchange of
electrolytes, such as calcium, sodium, and potassium?
A) Electromagnetic therapy
B) Shiatsu
C) Hypnosis
D) Yoga
Ans: A
Feedback:
Electromagnetic therapy is speculated to influence ion exchange of
electrolytes, such as calcium, sodium, and potassium. Shiatsu uses acupoints,
and yoga uses exercises for therapy. Hypnosis is not known to affect ions in
the body.
2. Chiropractors treat disorders by which of the following methods?
A) Applying force to a specific location
B) Massaging the area to encourage circulation
C) Manipulating the spine to align vertebrae
D) Channeling the universal energy
Ans: C
Feedback:
According to chiropractic theory, misalignment of the spinal vertebrae
changes activities of nerves that control body functions in distant organs.
This may lead to diseases. Spine manipulation treats the disorders by
correcting the alignment of the vertebrae. Applying force to a specific
location is the method of acupressure and not chiropractic. Massage
improves circulation, but this is not the main job of the chiropractor.
Channeling universal energy happens only in Reiki.
3. Whichof the following complementary and alternative therapies uses
7,000 nerve endings to improve the body's ability to facilitate natural
healing?
A) Reflexology
B) Magnetism
C) Acupuncture
D) Chiropractic
Ans: A
Feedback:

, Practitioners of reflexology claim that reflex centers in the extremities have
more than 7,000 nerve endings connected to the body organs and tissues.
When pressure is applied to one reflex center, the impulse travels to the
spinal cord and brain. This reconditioning of the neural reflex facilitates
natural healing. Magnetism seeks to cure by influencing the natural magnetic
field of body cells. Acupuncture is a procedure used in or adapted from
Chinese medical practice in which specific body areas are pierced with fine
needles for therapeutic purposes. Chiropractors manipulate the spine to
correct its misalignment.

, be taught easily, and has provided evidence of positive effects. The patient is
requesting a conventional method. What type of treatment would you advise
them of?
A) Reflexology
B) Magnetism
C) Acupuncture
D) Biofeedback
Ans: D
Feedback:
Biofeedback is a mind–body medical technique. Mind–body interventions,
such as imagery, humor, and hypnosis, have few physical risks, are easy to
teach, and have proved to be effective. Although reflexology, magnetism,
and acupuncture have also found acceptance, they lack these attributes, and
questions remain about their effectiveness.
5. Although 25% of prescription drugs are derived from plants, interest in
self-treatment using herbs has been on the rise. Which of the following is
the reason for this?
A) Prescribed drugs are subjected to federal regulations.
B) Herbs are easily available.
C) There are differences in molecular structure between the source
plant and the synthesized drug.
D) Using only parts of a plant may not have the same effects as using the
whole plant. Ans: D
Feedback:
Herbalists argue that consuming the whole plant has different effects.
Prescribed drugs contain only one or two extracts or synthetic substances
that match the molecular structure of the source plant. Therefore, in many
cases, the molecular structure may be the same. Regulations are relevant to
producers of drugs or herbal products, not the users.
6. In
which of the following therapies is it believed that the practitioner
gathers knowledge about the disease and its cure from a higher power?
A) Herbal therapy
B) Ayurveda
C) Native American system
D) Chinese medicine
Ans: C
