help manage the anxiety. The nurse may suggest which of the following CAM modalities? 1. Kudzu
2. Running
3. Acupressure
4. Ginkgo
3
Rationale: Acupressure is a recommended CAM modality for treatment of anxiety. Ginkgo is recommended for Alzheimer's disease, not anxiety. Although running may be an outlet for anxious feelings, it is not listed as a CAM modality. Kudzu is recommended for adjunctive therapy for alcoholism, not anxiety.
