Question 2

Mrs. Ota is a 72-year-old woman whose recent fall resulted in a femoral head fracture.
 
  In the days since her subsequent hip surgery, she has been experiencing intermittent pain and requested breakthrough analgesia several times over the past 24 hours. However, her son and daughter-in-law came to visit for the first time 2 hours ago, and Mrs. Ota has denied pain during this time period. The nurse recognizes that Mrs. Ota may be experiencing less pain at this time because:
  A) Being distracted has activated her descending control system.
  B) Serotonin is inhibiting signals from her nociceptors.
  C) C fibers are overriding signals from her A delta fibers.
  D) Distraction has heightened the response of her spinal cord neurons.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
