Discussion Details 2218-NURS-3335-500-RN-BSN PROMOTING HEALTHY LIFES
Nutrition & Exercise, Complementary & Alternative Holistic Strategies, and the Nurse’s Role in Patient Education
As seen in this week’s readings and media regarding Complementary and Alternative practices, there is a growing number of American’s using these types of practices for their health. Reflect upon your own personal values and cultural influences and the use of Complementary and
Alternative practices when responding to the following questions:
1. How do culture and personal values influence the use of complementary and alternative medicine practices? (in-text citation and reference required)
2. In your own culture, what types of complementary practices are utilized? Describe the practice and what it was used for. (no reference required)
3. What types of complementary and alternative practices have you seen in your nursing practice or used personally and what was the effectiveness of the practice? (no reference required)
Remember to include an APA formatted in-text citation AND corresponding reference from a recent (within last 5 years), professional journal or website (NIH, CDC, etc.). (Failure to include BOTH an in-text citation AND a corresponding reference will result in a significant point deduction.
contact your coach if you have any questions about this BEFORE submitting your post to the discussion board this week.) You do not need an in-text citation/reference for all questions, but the FIRST question DOES require an in-text citation and reference.
