Answer to Question 1

1
Breakthrough pain is commonly seen in the advanced stages of cancer. It is spontaneous, unpredictable, and can be initiated by certain activities such as during activities of daily living. Intractable pain is resistant to some or all forms of therapy. Psychosomatic pain is that which has a psychological origin. The client is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Acute pain has a sudden onset and resolves within 6 months.

Answer to Question 2

3
Clients often require assistance in maintaining a patent airway after use of general anesthesia. The first assessment the nurse should make is that of the client's airway. The surgical dressing, intravenous sites, and pain can be assessed after the client's airway has been established.
