Your Answer: Music can serve as a vehicle for altering ordinary levels of consciousness to achieve the mind's fullest potential.

Carefully selected music helps to restore regulatory functions that are out of tune during times of stress and illness. The right side of the brain regulates pitch, rhythm, style, and melody. Music does not need logic from the left side. However, this side may act dominantly in musicians. To benefit from music therapy, a person needs to integrate the functioning of both hemispheres of the brain.

		Objective: Discuss uses of animals, prayer, and humor as treatment modalities. Rationale: Humor reduces the presenter's anxiety and gains the audience's attention, which facilitates learning.

Correct Answer: The action has a questionable action on his well-being.
		Objective: Discuss uses of animals, prayer, and humor as treatment modalities. Rationale: Research demonstrates inconclusive evidence on the impact of intercessory prayer on the well-being of others.

Therefore, the action has a questionable result on his well-being.
