Should Nurse Practitioners Prescribe Complementary and Alternative Medicine?
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is a large and fast-growing fact of life for nurse practitioners (NPs), particularly the vast majority of us who practice primary care. CAM is a range of therapeutic approaches categorized as follows: whole medical systems (eg, homeopathy, naturopathy, and ayurveda); mind-body techniques (eg, meditation, acupuncture, tai chi, and hypnotherapy); biologically based treatments (eg, herbal remedies and dietary supplements); manipulations (eg, chiropractic and massage); and energy medicine (eg, reiki and qi gong).
