Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Somatic pain is diffuse or scattered pain, and it originates in tendons, ligaments, bones, blood vessels, and nerves. Cutaneous pain usually involves the skin or subcutaneous tissues. Visceral pain is poorly localized and originates in body organs. Phantom pain occurs in an amputated leg for which receptors and nerves are clearly absent, but the pain is a real experience for the client.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
All of the options may be helpful in promoting rest. However, the client complaints are about excessive noise, and posting signs for quiet and turning down hall lights during formal quiet times is the only option that directly addresses noise. Also, some clients cannot rest if the room temperature is not to their liking. The room temperature needs to be adjusted to client preference.
