Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Because higher centers in the brain influence perception greatly, the pain experience is a product of a person's past pain experiences, values, cultural expectations, and emotions.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Pressure ulcers occur from any position that causes soft tissue compression. Compression of soft tissue interferes with blood flow to the tissue; if this compression continues for a prolonged time, the tissue dies from lack of blood flow, also known as ischemia. This pressure, if not relieved, can cause irreversible tissue damage in as little as 90 minutes. It is quite possible for an individual to develop a pressure ulcer even if not confined to bed.
