  • Describe how a consumer’s attitudes and beliefs about CAM could affect the assessment of reliability and credibility of source information about CAM.
  • Create five objective criteria to evaluate the credibility and reliability of a source of information on CAM. Discuss how you arrived at each criterion and how it can help assess reliability of source information.
  • Select a CAM therapy or modality different from the one you selected in Week 1, and do research for information about this therapy or modality.
  • Using the five objective criteria you created above, provide a review on one of the websites you found in your search and evaluate the reliability and credibility of the information it presents on CAM. Ensure you:

The hospital director of Quality Improvement has asked you to participate in developing a nursing action plan for your facility.
