  2. It allows healthcare professionals to practice procedures in a safe and controlled environment.

  3. It facilitates collaboration and knowledge sharing among healthcare professionals.

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

VR offers immersive and interactive learning experiences, enables healthcare professionals to practice procedures in a safe and controlled environment, and facilitates collaboration and knowledge sharing among healthcare professionals.

Which of the following is an example of a VR-based mental health intervention?

  1. Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) for PTSD

  2. Virtual reality cognitive-behavioral therapy (VR-CBT) for anxiety

  3. Virtual reality mindfulness-based therapy (VR-MBT) for stress reduction

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

VR-based mental health interventions include virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) for PTSD, virtual reality cognitive-behavioral therapy (VR-CBT) for anxiety, and virtual reality mindfulness-based therapy (VR-MBT) for stress reduction.

How does VR enhance the patient experience during medical procedures?

  1. It reduces anxiety and fear associated with medical procedures.

  2. It provides a distraction from pain and discomfort.

  3. It allows patients to communicate more effectively with healthcare providers.

  4. All of the above
