Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Chronic pain can be continuous or intermittent and may not be indicative of tissue damage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Some alternative therapies may have serious side effects. As a rule, complementary and alternative (CAM) therapies are not curative or healing as is allopathic medicine. Some complementary therapies are covered by insurance, but alternative remedies are not.
