Answer to Question 1

The five C's of pain management include comprehensive assessment, consistent use of assessment tools, continuous reassessment, customize the plan of care, and collaborate with other health care providers to plan pain management. The other choices are not included in the five C's of pain management.

Answer to Question 2

Severity of illness is a much better predictor of outcome of surgery when compared to age. Nutritional status and activity status would be characteristics that are associated with severity of illness.
