    • Loving reassurance of God's tender care, ever-presence, and omnipotence; faithfully and consistently acknowledging man's spiritual perfection;

    • Christian encouragement of an individual's expression of normal activity and natural vitality;

    • Reading to or with an individual from the Bible, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures and other writings by Mary Baker Eddy; also, additional literature published by The Christian Science Publishing Society;
    • Communication: maintaining an ethical, moral, and loving manner in all communications with the patient, family, friends, Christian Science practitioner, and others; observing ethical and legal requirements with regard to private information about the patient;

    • Assuming responsibility for making health care decisions for the patient;

    • Administering medication, drugs or using medicated, herbal, or vitamin-based products and remedies;

    • Using and administering medically oriented techniques or technology;

    • Manipulation, massage, physical therapy;
