A nurse is using the holistic approach to care. Which goal is the priority?
a. Integrate spiritual treatments.
b. Join physical care with a vegan diet.
c. Incorporate the mind-body-spirit connection.
d. Use complementary and alternative therapies.
ANS: C
Beliefs and values that are consistent with an approach to health that incorporates the mind, body, and spirit comprise the holistic approach. Holistic nursing treats the mind-body-spirit of the patient, using interventions such as relaxation therapy, music therapy, touch therapies, and guided imagery. Spiritual treatments are a part of holistic care but not the priority. A vegan diet is an aspect of dietary treatment, but it does not allow for alternative viewpoints or well-rounded care. A holistic nurse may use complementary and alternative therapies to meet the priority goal of incorporating body-mind-spirit.
