Answer to Question 1

C
Deep or visceral pain is diffuse and may radiate in several directions. Visceral pain may be de-scribed as a burning sensation.
Referred pain is felt in a part of the body separate from the source of pain, such as with a myo-cardial infarction, in which pain may be referred to the jaw, left arm, and left shoulder.
Radiating pain feels like it is travelling down or along a body part, such as low back pain that is accompanied by pain radiating down the leg from sciatic nerve irritation.
Superficial or cutaneous pain is of short duration and is localized, as in a small cut.

Answer to Question 2

C
School and home influence growth and development, requiring adjustment by parents and by the child. The child learns to cope with rules and expectations presented by the school and by peers. Parents have to learn to allow their child to make decisions, accept responsibility, and learn from life's experiences. Teenagers typically are very social and have many friends. Adolescents seek a group identity because they need esteem and acceptance. By midadolescence, adolescents believe that they are unique and the exception, giving rise to their risk-taking behaviors. Obesity occurs because children often rush into the home after school or play and eat the most easily obtainable and appealing foods. Providing nutritious snacks is often the best way to ensure good nutritional intake.
