The family of a client who is on home hospice care asks the nurse about the use of complementary therapies that would improve the comfort level of the client. Which following therapies would the nurse identify?

While there are federal initiatives to address health disparities, there is no specific legislation that mandates their elimination; rather, there are guidelines and programs aimed at reducing them.
