Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Nociceptive pain reflects pain due to noxious stimuli that damages normal tissues or has the potential to do so if the pain is prolonged. Nociceptive pain ranges from sharp or burning; to dull, aching, or cramping; to deep aching or sharp stabbing. Examples of conditions that result in nociceptive pain include chemical burns, sunburn, cuts, appendicitis, and bladder distention. Neuropathic pain is pain due to malfunctioning of the peripheral or central nervous system. Chronic pain is defined as pain that continues past the expected point of healing for injured tissue. Superficial somatic pain, often called cutaneous pain, involves stimulation of nociceptors in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, or mucous membranes.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Tourette syndrome is an inherited syndrome of motor and phonic vocal tics. Complex vocal tics include the repeated use of words or phrases out of contextspecifically, coprolalia or the use of socially unacceptable words such as obscenities. Flat affect, playing alone, and running wildly in circles are not manifestations of Tourette syndrome.
