Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The qualities we normally feel from the body, including pain, also can be felt in the absence of inputs from the body, such as is noted with phantom limb pain. Neuropathic pain is initiated or caused by a primary lesion or dysfunction in the nervous system. Visceral pain refers to pain in internal organs and the lining of body cavities. Chronic pain lasts more than 3-6 months and is not associated with loss of a limb.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The pain threshold in children is lower than or the same as that of adults.
