Answer preview

The fact that the use of CAMs, especially those whose safety and effectiveness are yet to be ascertained, can threaten the well-being of patients means that their use in combination with conventional medicine is heavily regulated. For long-term care facilities, ensuring that the strategies they use to facilitate the integration of CAMs and conventional medical approaches adhere to the existing regulations is important (Barcan, 2020). With respect to the recommended strategies, they adhere to existing regulations. This is because these strategies are aligned with the requirements that healthcare professionals should allow patients to be involved in their treatment (Barcan, 2020). By collaborating with patients to discover the most effective and safe CAMs, long-term care facilities will be fulfilling this requirement. These regulations also require health care professionals to consistently improve their knowledge and skills (Barcan, 2020). Therefore by familiarizing themselves with various ethical frameworks to guide their decision-making, health care professionals will be adhering to this requirement.
