Answer to Question 1

D
Neuropathic involves a pathophysiological process of peripheral or central nervous system. In-fection, obstruction, and inflammation are considered nociceptive pain sensations that are asso-ciated with injury to skin, mucosa, muscle, or bone.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct. Because this older adult has a potential cognitive impairment and thus is likely to self-report pain unreliably, the nurse uses additional clinical indicators to detect pain in her. Muscle rigidity and guarding are clinical indicators of pain for a postoperative older adult regardless of a cognitive impairment.
B Incorrect. An individual experiencing pain is unlikely to have stable vital signs.
C Incorrect. Not verbalizing can indicate a sensory impairment and warrants fur-ther investigation by the nurse. Nonetheless, this older adult's verbalizations are potentially unreliable indicators of pain.
D Incorrect. Older adults move normally during sleep to adjust their position in bed, and it is not an indicator of pain unless the movements are agitated or rest-less in nature.
