The role of a nurse regarding complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) should include:
|
Answer and Rationale:
Option 4 is Correct answer.
Rationale: Complementary (alternative) therapies include a wide variety of treatment modalities that are used in addition to conventional therapy to treat a disease or illness. Educating the client about therapies that he or she uses or is interested in using is the nurse’s role. Options 1, 2, and 3 are inappropriate actions for the nurse to take.
Test-Taking Strategy: Use therapeutic communication techniques. Eliminate options 1, 2, and 3 because they are nontherapeutic. Recommending an herbal remedy or discouraging a client from doing something is not within the role practices of the nurse. Additionally, it is nontherapeutic to advise a client to do something. Option 4 is the only option that is appropriate and therapeutic. Review therapeutic communication techniques and the nurse’s role in educating clients about alternative therapies if you had difficulty with this question.Content Area: Fundamental Skills—Cultural Diversity |
