Title: A patient asks, "What is the major difference between conventional health care and complementary and Post by: new-york-er on Oct 21, 2015 A patient asks, "What is the major difference between conventional health care and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)?" The nurse's best reply is that conventional health care:
a. focuses on what is done to the patient, whereas CAM focuses on body-mind interaction with an actively involved patient. b. has been tested by research so less regulation is needed, but CAM is religiously based and highly regulated. c. is controlled by the health care industry, but CAM is the people's medicine and not motivated by profit. d. is holistic and focused on health promotion, whereas CAM treats illnesses and is symptom-specific.
