    Traditional  Chinese  medicine (TCM) employs methods of treatment such as acupuncture,  acupressure, and QiGong (treatment based on meditation). The nurse using TCM can affect rehabilitation patient outcomes positively. With TCM  training,  nurses  have  an  opportunity  to  learn the nuances of the Oriental  environment  and  integrate  them  into their skills to nurse the spirit, mind, and body of patients in a holistic manner.
