Goals and Outcomes
Goals and Learning Outcomes
Data from the 2012 National Health Interview Survey showed that about 34% of American adults and 12% of children use some form of complementary and alternative medicine. Because of consumers’ heightened interest in complementary treatments and their widening use, anecdotal efficacy, and growing supportive research evidence, nursing and medical schools across the country now offer courses in complementary interventions and practices. Nurses and other healthcare professionals can expect questions from their patients about these complementary therapies, so they need to be informed and comfortable enough to discuss these unique approaches.

After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • Differentiate between the practices of complementary, alternative, and conventional medicine.
  • Identify current complementary health practices used in the U.S.
  • Identify the importance of integrating complementary and alternative medicine with conventional medicine
  • List three reasons why patients seek complementary healthcare treatment
  • Distinguish 10 different complementary therapies
  • Recall at least 10 different complementary therapies that healthcare professionals can learn and incorporate into their care.
