Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Surgery for treatment of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage involves craniotomy and inserting a specially designed silver clip that is tightened around the neck of the aneurysm. Administration of tPA would exacerbate bleeding, and a diuretic would not address the issue of bleeding. Monitoring alone would be an insufficient response given the severity of the problem.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Analgesia is the absence of pain on noxious stimulation or the relief of pain without loss of consciousness. Congenital insensitivity is when the peripheral nerve defect apparently exists such that the transmission of painful nerve impulses does not result in perception of pain. Pens-and-needles sensation is called paresthesia. Burning sensations are usually associated with temperature (hyperthermia). Pain associated with wind (or any nonnoxious stimuli) is called allodynia.
