Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Term neonates have the same sensitivity to pain as older infants and children. Preterm neonates have a greater sensitivity to pain than term neonates or older children.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Deafferentation pain comes from injury to either the peripheral or central nervous system. Phan-tom pain reflects injury to the peripheral nervous system. In painful polyneuropathy the client feels pain along the distribution of many peripheral nerves; examples include diabetic neuropathy, alcohol-nutritional neuropathy, and Guillain-Barr syndrome. Somatic pain comes from bone, joint, muscle, skin, or connective tissue. It is usually aching or throbbing in quality and is well localized. Sympathetically maintained pain is associated with dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system; examples include pain associated with reflex sympathetic dystrophy/causalgia (complex regional pain syndrome, type I, type II).
