MULTIPLE-CHOICE
1.A-client-tells-the-nurse-that-she-rarely-experiences-pain,-but-when-she-does,-she-seeks-medical-
attention.-The-nurse-realizes-this-client-understands-that-pain-is-important-because-it:
1. is-a-protective-system.
2. includes-the-automatic-withdrawal-reflex.
3. creates-sensitivity-to-pain.
4. helps-with-healing.
SOLUTION:- 1
Pain-is-a-protective-system-that-includes-protection-from-unsafe-behaviors-by-use-of-reflexes,-
memory,-and-avoidance.-Even-though-the-automatic-withdrawal-reflex-is-a-part-of-the-pain-
response,-it-does-not-explain-why-pain-is-important.-Pain-does-not-create-sensitivity-to-pain.-Pain-
does-not-help-with-healing.

2.A-client-complains-that-the-bed-sheets-touching-his-skin-are-extremely-painful.-The-nurse-
realizes-this-client-is-experiencing:
1. allodynia.
2. modulation.
3. kinesthesia.
4. proprioception.
SOLUTION:- 1
Allodynia-or-hyperalgesia-is-a-state-where-a-slight-or-nonpainful-stimulus-is-interpreted-as-very-
painful.-Kinesthesia-is-the-awareness-of-movement.-Proprioception-is-the-awareness-of-body-
position.-Modulation-is-an-influencing-factor-in-the-perception-of-pain.
PTS:-1-DIF:-Analyze-REFERENCE:-Peripheral-Nervous-System
3.A-client-is-complaining-of-severe-abdomen-pain.-The-nurse-realizes-this-client-is-experiencing-
which-type-of-pain?
1. Neuralgia
2. Pathological
3. Somatic
4. Visceral
SOLUTION:- 4
Visceral-pain-is-pain-arising-from-the-body-organs-or-gastrointestinal-tract.-Somatic-pain-is-pain-
that-originates-from-the-bone,-joints,-muscles,-skin,-or-connective-pain.-Neuralgia-and
, pathological-pain-are-both-types-of-pain-that-result-from-injury-to-a-nerve-or-malfunction-of-the-
neuronal-transmission-process-or-due-to-impaired-regulation.

4.A-client,-diagnosed-with-acute-appendicitis,-is-experiencing-abdominal-pain.-The-best-way-for-
the-nurse-to-describe-this-clients-pain-would-be:
1. chronic.
2. neuropathic.
3. referred.
4. acute.
SOLUTION:- 4
Acute-pain-onset-is-sudden-and-of-short-duration.-Chronic-pain-is-a-sudden-or-slow-onset-of-mild-
to-severe-pain-that-lasts-longer-than-6-months.-Referred-pain-is-the-result-of-the-transfer-of-
visceral-pain-sensations-to-a-body-surface-at-a-distance-from-the-actual-origin.-Neuropathic-pain-
is-paroxysmal-pain-that-occurs-along-the-branches-of-a- nerve.

5.A-client-is-observed-holding-a-pillow-over-the-abdominal-region-with-both-knees-flexed-in-a-
side-lying-position.-Vital-signs-assessment-reveals-an-elevated-blood-pressure-and-heart-rate.-
Which-of-the-following-should-the-nurse-say-to-this-client?
1. Can-I-get-you-anything?
2. Would-you-like-something-for-pain?
3. You-look-comfortable.
4. Your-blood-pressure-is-up.
SOLUTION:- 2
Sympathetic-responses-to-pain-include-elevated-blood-pressure-and-heart-rate.-And-since-the-
client-is-hugging-a-pillow-over-the-abdominal-region-with-both-knees-flexed-in-a-side-lying-
position,-the-best-thing-for-the-nurse-to-say-to-this-client-is-Would-you-like-something-for-pain?-
The-other-responses-are-incorrect-because-they-do-not-acknowledge-that-the-client-is-experiencing-
pain.
