Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

The client is describing phantom pain, which is a painful sensation perceived in an absent body part or a body part that is paralyzed. Radiating pain has an origin in one part of the body and then spreads to other adjacent body parts. Intractable pain does not respond to relief measures. Cutaneous pain is pain experienced in the cutaneous tissues.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Intractable pain refers to pain that is not controllable. It is often associated with an advanced malignancy. Referred pain refers to pain that is felt in an area that is physically distant to the affected area. Retractable pain does not exist. Radiating pain refers to pain that extends to surrounding areas of the body.
