Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nurses may use complementary or alternative therapies to promote client well-being,focusing on healing (making whole)rather than curing (treating disease processes).The healing process activates the individual's internal forces,and the nurse can act as a healing facilitator or instrument of healing to the client.As an instrument of healing (a means by which healing can be achieved,performed,or enhanced),a nurse helps a client use inner resources for healing by the attributes of a knowledge base (initiated in nursing school and expanded through lifelong learning);intentionality (having a conscious goal or direction);respect for differences (honoring a client's culturally based health beliefs);and ability to model wellness (caring for oneself and attempting to remain healthy and balanced).
