Answer to Question 1

A
Cellular damage from various stimuli release pain-producing substances, such as histamine, bradykinin, and potassium, which cause an action potential on nociceptors, converting the origi-nal stimuli into a pain impulse known as transduction.

Answer to Question 2

B
The Hospital-Acquired Conditions and Present on Admission Indicator Reporting Act identifies eight conditions that are preventable through the application of evidence-based guidelines: object left in surgery, air embolism, blood incompatibility, catheter-associated urinary tract infection, pressure ulcers, vascular catheter-associated infection, surgical site infection after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and falls and trauma. Gait or lower extremity problems, urinary/stool frequency or incontinence, and use of certain medications increase the likelihood of patient falls in an acute care hospital.
