The client has asked if you would be able to offer any alternative or complementary therapy during their hospitalization. Which of the following would be appropriate to suggest? A. Physical therapy,B. Music therapy, C. Psychiatric therapy, D. Occupational therapy, E. Pet therapy
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Music therapy and pet therapy are two forms of alternative or complementary therapy that may improve the client's condition and level of comfort. Physical, occupational, and/or psychiatric therapy are treatments that may be part of the client's care plan, and they are not considered complementary or alternative treatments. Additionally, they usually require a prescription or referral where music therapy and pet therapy typically do not.
