, c. Complementary care
d. Individualized care
ANS: C
The term complementary was proposed to describe therapies that can be used to complement
or support conventional treatments. Guided imagery, massage, and animal-assisted therapy
are all examples of complementary care. The term alternative denotes that aspecific therapy
is an option or alternative to what is considered conventional treatment of a condition or state.
Holistic care focuses on human integrity and stresses that the body, mind, and spirit are
interdependent and inseparable. Individualized care recognizes the uniqueness of each
patient’s preferences, condition, and physiologic and psychosocial status.

Tele-ICU is a form of telemedicine. Telemedicine was initially used in outpatient areas,
remote rural geographic locations, and areas where there was a dearth of medical
providers. Currently, there are tele-ICUs in areas where there are limited resources on-
site. However, experts (critical care nurses, intensivists) are located in a central distant
site.

a. Interprofessional teamwork and team-based care
b. Values and ethics for interprofessional practice

roles of other professions to appropriately assess and address the health care needs of the
patients and populations served.
Interprofessional communication includes communicating with patients, families,
communities, and other health professionals in a responsive and responsible manner that
supports a team approach to maintaining health and treatment of disease. Interprofessional
teamwork and team-based care means applying relationship-building values and principles of
team dynamics to perform effectively in different team roles to plan and deliver patient
population-centered care that is safe, timely, efficient, effective, and equitable.
