While planning care for a patient, a nurse understands that
providing integrative care includes treating which of the
following?
a. Disease, spirit, and family interactions
b. Desires and emotions of the patient
c. Mind-body-spirit of patients and their families
d. Muscles, nerves, and spine disorders Correct Answer C
(You could argue that, when you consider the totality
of the patient/family, all of these come into play; but
AHNA/ANA Standards of Holistic Nursing speak
specifically to the mind-body-spirit focus of holistic
nursing.)
In addition to an adequate patient assessment, when a
nurse uses one of the nursing-accessible complementary
therapies, he or she must ensure that which of the
following has occurred?
a. The family has provided permission.
b. The patient has provided permission and consent.
c. The health care provider has given approval or provided
orders for the therapy.
,d. He or she has documented that the patient has a
complete understanding of complementary and alternative
medicine. Correct Answer B (Nurse-accessible therapies
are independent nursing interventions. As long as the
Scope of Practice identified by the nurse's State
Board of Nursing permits this activity, you do not
need to obtain permission from the patient's primary
provider or his or her family members unless the
patient is underage. An adult can provide consent.
Complete understanding of any procedure or
intervention is impossible to ensure; therefore
documenting that the patient has a complete
understanding of complementary and alternative
medicine is inaccurate.)
What role do patients have in complementary and
alternative therapies?
a. Submissive to the practitioner
b. Actively involved in the treatment
c. Allow practitioner to experiment
d. Total believer in what is being taught Correct Answer B
(One of the characteristics of complementary therapy
users is that they want to be more involved in their care
and decision making about the types of treatments that
are used. Complementary therapies are one way to
provide the patient with increased control of the health
care.)
Meditation may compound the effects of which of these
medications?
,a. Prednisone and antibiotics
b. Insulin and vitamins
c. Cough syrups and aspirin
d. Antihypertensive and thyroid-regulating medications
Correct Answer D (Mind-body techniques, including
meditation, create physiological responses in the
cardiovascular and respiratory systems. These
responses may include decreased blood pressure,
reduced heart rate, and slowed respirations. They
decrease the need for antihypertensive and other
cardiac regulators and thyroid-regulating
medications.)
A patient who has been using relaxation wants a better
response. The nurse recommends the addition of
biofeedback. What is the expected outcome related to
using this additional modality?
a. To eat less food
b. To control diabetes
c. To live longer with acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS)
d. To learn how to control some autonomic nervous
system responses Correct Answer D (Biofeedback is a
mind-body technique that teaches self-regulation and
voluntary control over specific physiological
responses, including autonomic nervous system
response.)
, Which of the following statements best explains the
actions of therapeutic touch (TT)?
a. Intentionally mobilizes energy to balance, harmonize,
and repattern the recipient's biofield
b. Intentionally heals specific diseases or corrects certain
symptoms
c. Is overwhelmingly effective in many conditions
d. Is completely safe and does not warrant any special
precautions Correct Answer A (TT is focused on healing
the whole person and providing energy to the body
that supports innate healing responses. The research
literature is questionable; systematic analyses claim
that the research designs are too weak for any
conclusive evidence to be identified with confidence.
Although TT is relatively safe and there have been
very few negative events associated with its use, all
therapies (complementary or conventional) should be
used with caution in certain populations.)
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is used by many
patients. Which statement most accurately describes
intervention(s) offered by TCM providers?
a. Uses acupuncture as its primary intervention modality
b. Uses many modalities based on the individual's needs
c. Uses primarily herbal remedies and exercise
d. Is the equivalent of medical acupuncture Correct
Answer B (TCM practitioners use a variety of
interventions that are based on individual patient
assessment findings and needs. Modalities include
