CAM is/are.
A. Prolong their survival
B. Alleviate the side effects of conventional cancer treatments
C. Detoxify their bodies
D. Boost immunity
E. Enhance their overall quality of life [NOTE: Since all the choices are reasons (basing on the
study), I chose the one that Dra. Bausa noted in her conclusion. ]
Most participants self-treated with CAM and perceived CAM modalities as complementary rather
than alternative to conventional cancer treatments.
Within this context, this group of people used CAM to prolong their survival, palliate their symptoms or
alleviate the side effects of conventional cancer treatments, detoxify their bodies, boost immunity
and enhance their overall quality of life.
Patients with cancer want to know more about how to maintain or improve their quality of life during
and after surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. (from Dra. Bausas conclusion about a study trying to
identify in detail the reasons for using CAM among patients with advanced cancer)
71. During patient-physician encounter, physician as part of good clinical practice should:

disease
Prepared by: Christine Lovely G. Mayo
PSALM 91

D. A & B
E. All of the above
Clinicians need to be aware of what their patients are doing and their rationale for doing so.
Screening for physical, emotional, and spiritual discomfort associated not only with the disease but
with some of the cancer treatment needs to be given a prominent place in the clinical encounter.
Fostering an open nonjudgmental communication with patients is part of good clinical practice.
72. In patients using CAM, physician should take into account all but most especially the ____________:
A. Benefit
B. Cost and the potential harm
C. Patients choice
D. Physicians choice
E. All of the above
CAM
Supporting patients choices is an important part of palliative care. It is challenging to be providing
care when patients use complementary therapies. There are issues relating to cost, and the potential
for harm that need to be taken into account.
73. Role of Health Care Professional in patients considering CAM:
A. Help the patients to make their own decisions
B. Listening to the patient
C. Finding information and asking questions
D. Navigate information overload
E. All of the above
ROLE OF HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS
In helping patients to make decisions as health professionals our roles are to help them to make their
own decisions. This involves listening to the patient, finding information and asking questions. We may
often be called upon to help navigate the information overload of very variable quality that is out
there on the internet.
74. Which of the following describe CAM:
A. Alternative medicine is frequently grouped with Complementary Medicine or Integrative
Medicine
B. Refers to the interventions when used in conjunction with mainstream techniques under the
umbrella term complementary and alternative medicine
C. Both
D. Neither
COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE
Complementary preferred terminology to describe therapies used in conjunction with conventional
treatments
Alternative therapy umbrella term used in the United States to describe unproven remedies and
techniques; carries the implication of use instead of conventional treatment; frequently grouped with
complementary medicine or integrative medicine
Integrative medicine refers to the same interventions when used in conjunction with mainstream
techniques under the umbrella term complimentary and alternative medicine (CAM)

75. Patient seek and are attracted to CAM due to which factor/s:
A. Dissatisfaction with conventional therapies
B. Hope and self-empowerment
C. Feel helpless in the face of disease progression
D. Gain control over what is happening [NOTE: Since in Dra. Bausas conclusion she said that
patients are increasingly asserting their right to choose their own therapy, this MIGHT be the
best answer.]
E. All of the above
COMMON CRITICISMS ON CONVENTIONAL THERAPIES:
they told me they cannot do any more
focuses on disease instead of health
focuses on doctor instead of patient
paternalistic
practitioners are too busy
therapies are harmful
undervalues social, psychological and spiritual aspects
practiced by doctors who are poor role models for health
part of a conspiracy (e.g. cancer cures are kept secret in order to maintain pharmaceutical
companies profits)
As part of a general cultural change, patients are increasingly asserting their right to choose their
own therapy, whether their doctors approve or not (from Dra. Bausas summary)
76. The purpose of having knowledge of Long Term Care Services is to:

D. B & C
E. All of the above
Long term care services includes a broad spectrum of care generally utilized by individuals with
severe medical and social problems that limit normal residential living; armada of services, both
related and social, that are needed to help individuals who are fully or partially impaired in their
conduct of daily living activities; continuum of care
TARGET GROUPS
Disabled may be due to physical or mental health problems; restriction/prevention of
performance; long term care services include emotional support services as well
o Impairment permanent or transitory psychological, physiological or anatomical loss or
abnormality of structure or function
o Handicap disability that constitutes a disadvantage for a given individual in that it
limits or prevents the fulfillment of a role that is normal depending on age, sex, social
and cultural factors of that individual
o A physical disability or health impairment is not a handicap unless it limits the
individuals participation in routine activities.
Elderly long term care is used primarily by frail elderlies who because of reduced physical
vigor (may or may not involve loss of mental acuity) can no longer be solely responsible for
their own maintenance and functioning

Referral implies a transfer responsibility to another physician for the care of a specific problem;
usualy involves one physician requesting the services of another for a particular purpose and for a
limited time; transfer of responsibility from family physician to another physician is never total (family
physican retains an overall responsibility for the patients welfare
DIFFERENT TYPES OF REFERRAL:
Internal referral px referred for complete care for a limited period; referring physician has no
responsibilities during this period (eg. referral of px for a major surgery or major medical illness)
Collateral referral referring physicial retains overall responsibility but refers the patient for
care of some specific problem; may be long term (chronic glaucoma) or short term
counseling for a psychological or social problem)
Cross-referral px adviced to see another physician, and the referring physician accepts no
further responsibility for the pxs care (after self-referral by px or family physician); condemned

because it is 1) wasteful of resources, 2) demoralizing for the patient, and 3) alienating for the
family physician
Split referral takes place under conditions of multispecialist practice, when responsibility is
divided more or less evenly between two or more physicians (px is a diabetic and also has an
ischemic heart disease); disadvantage: nobody knows who has overall responsibility for the px

WHEN TO REFER:
Px or family expresses doubt or shows lack of confidence in the diagnosis or management
o Readiness of physican to consult is a sign of maturity and self-confidence
Family physician himself is dissatisfied with the pxs progress or is unsure of the diagnosis

CASE
Maria is a married, 32 y/o mother of three. She has been discharged from the hospital against
medical advice after a 3-day stay with a medical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and fracture of the
left proximal humerus. She had initially gone to the emergency room of the hospital for treatment of
her broken arm after a fall down the basement stairs.
During her stay in the hospital, Maria appeared depressed and sullen, avoided eye contact, and
answered all questions with one or two words. It was also noted that she had not any visitors during
her stay. It was decided that a home care follow-up was indicated because Maria seemed to be
vague and insecure about her condition even though she verbalized a complete understanding of
her diet and medications.
During the first home visit by the FHC team (family health care) the house appeared cluttered but
was relatively clean. Empty beer bottles were noted. Maria appeared tense and agitated. Maria told
the FHC team, Lets get this over with fast before my husband arrives. He does not want strangers in
the house.
Maria revealed that she has an 8-y/o daughter who is her biggest help. Her other children are a 6-y/o
son and a 5-y/o daughter. She never mentioned her husband. When probed about it, she averted
her eyes and looked fearful. Maria said, He is a wonderful father and husband when he is not drunk.
We just have to act better so hell love us enough to stop drinking.
