When researching different healing traditions, the nurse learns that many of these traditions are based on which premise?
1. The person recovers from what is afflicting them.
2. The person becomes more ill and then recovers.
3. An outside person must help the person recover.
4. Other interventions aid the healing tradition.
1
Explanation: 1. The phenomenon of recovery is the basis for all healing traditions. The person recovers, or expects to recover.
2. Healing traditions are used for recovery, and not with the expectation that the person becomes more ill before becoming better.
3. Use of an outside person to help recovery is not a basis of healing traditions. Those who are healers become so through knowledge and uses of plants, herbs, and other methods that aid recovery.
4. Other interventions as adjuncts to healing traditions are not bases for using a specific healing tradition.
