The answer to question 1

3
Humor is a frequently used complementary alternative medicine therapy and one of the therapies most often used to promote wellness. Humor increases the ability to cope with pain, enhance immune function, enhance respiratory function, and reduce preprocedural anxiety.

The answer to question 2

4
Resonance is a normal percussion sound of the lungs, and it indicates normal lungs. Flatness indicates severe pneumonia. Dullness indicates atelectasis. Tympany indicates a large pneumothorax.

The answer to question 3

2
Rolfing is a form of deep tissue massage and manipulation to correct body posture. Usually 10 sessions are required to completely restore the body's alignment. Shiatsu is a combination of acupressure, massage, stretching, and joint manipulation to unblock the flow of chi. Therapeutic massage will not break up scar tissue. Relaxation is not a type of massage.

The answer to question 4

1
The ulnar surface of the hand is best for assessing vibrations which would be used to assess for a cardiac thrill. The dorsal aspect of the hand is best for assessing temperature. The fingertips are best for assessing fine sensation. A stethoscope is not used to assess for a cardiac thrill.
