ANS: D
Complementary therapy is nontraditional treatment that is used in addition to traditional medical care. Alternative therapies are used in place of traditional therapies. Adding massage to the medical regimen is an example of using complementary therapy. Substituting herbs for prescription medication is an example of alternative therapy. Because the patient is asking about complementary therapy, there is no need to warn him or her of the effects of stopping treatment. There are always complementary therapies that can be added to a medical regimen.
