Question

Question 16 2 pts Scenario: A new client who just entered your in-patient treatment facility excitedly comes up to you and says he uses acupressure--a technique of using hands, fingers, palms, elbows or feet to apply pressure to points on the body--to stay sober. He wants to tell the rest of the clients in that afternoon's group about acupressure and offers to give acupressure to anyone who is willing. How do you handle this?

Answer 1

The situation can be handled in the following way

• Actively listen to the patient ,this doesn't means that everything said by the patient are acceptable and agreed.
• Provide a positive feedback for his better health with acupressure
• Educate the client that it is a procedure, it has to be recommended by the physician after seeing a patient. Teaching the group can be beneficial but it may lead to severe consequences and bad health when not done correctly by the client
• Also make sure a client cannot teach another client in regards to complementary or alternative medicine because they are not professionally trained to handle any emergency.
