The nurse anticipates certain physiological responses from the body to pain. The initial response to pain comes from:
 
  1. The parasympathetic nervous system.
  2. The sympathetic nervous system.
  3. The autonomic nervous system.
  4. The central nervous system.

Question 2

The client is diagnosed with cancer, and receives a series of chemotherapy.
 
  Following this treatment, the nurse reads the client's medical record and learns the tumor has been designated a Stage IV, T4, N3, M1, and interprets this to mean the tumor has: 1. Been reduced in size by the chemotherapy.
  2. Responded to chemotherapy, but the chemotherapy needs to be continued.
  3. Metastasized, and there is lymph node involvement.
  4. Grown, but is limited to the original tumor.
