Why do practitioners have a better chance of providing effective care if they practice holistic care?
Answer
A
Patients come from many backgrounds, so treatment is more effective if a practitioner knows a patient’s cultural beliefs.
B
Physical illnesses are often tied to diet and exercise, so it is more effective to treat patients with natural therapies than with medications.
C
Health is physical, so it is more effective to focus on a patient’s physical symptoms and not spend time concerned about other types of problems.
D
Physical illnesses are often tied to mental, emotional, and social health, so it is more effective to treat the whole person than to treat only physical signs and symptoms.
