CHAPTER 27: COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES
Why Nurses Need to Know CAT
, ● Many pts use these therapies as outpatients and want to continue their use as inpatients

and mental harmony will alleviate symptoms

Holism
● Theory and philosophy that focuses on connections and interactions between parts of
whole

of holistic caring and healing.
