Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. The autonomic nervous system is the fight-or-flight mechanism, and it is not abnormally affected by chronic pain.
2. Chronic pain can be nociceptic or neuropathic, which is caused by abnormal functioning of the nervous system.
3. The neurological system is not abnormally affected by chronic pain.
4. The limbic system is not abnormally affected by chronic pain.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. The child is at risk for dehydration due to deficient fluid volume related to inadequate intake after surgery. The child will anticipate having pain if she tries to swallow.
2. Unless the child has a heart condition prior to surgery, arrhythmias is not a possible postoperative complication
3. Increased blood sugar will result only if the child is a diabetic.
4. Increased urinary output is not an expected complication of surgery.
