Answer to Question 1

A
The gate theory states that pain impulses cause pain when they get through gates that are open. Pain is blocked when the gates are closed. Nonpharmacologic pain relief measures, such as meditation, work by closing the gates, which keeps pain impulses from coming through. Meditation does not open pain gates or stop pain from occurring. Meditation also does not have an effect on pain neuroregulators.

Answer to Question 2

B
Touch is a primal need, as necessary as food, growth, or shelter. Older adults need touch as much as or more than any other group. Skin hunger or poverty of touch is often acute among older adults, who often have fewer family members or friends to touch them.
Skin hunger or poverty of touch is acute among older adults.
Touch provides a feeling of connectedness and acceptance to others and their environment. Skin hunger relates to lack of touch.
The need for adequate nutrients and hydration does not relate to touch as a primary need related to skin hunger.
