Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The client is experiencing visceral pain, which is associated with disease or injury. It is sometimes referred or poorly localized as it is not experienced in the exact site where an organ is located. In cutaneous pain, the discomfort originates at the skin level, and is a commonly experienced sensation resulting from some form of trauma. Somatic pain develops from injury to structures such as muscles, tendons, and joints. Neuropathic pain is experienced days, weeks, or even months after the source of the pain has been treated and resolved.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Anorexia, impaired digestion, distention, nausea, and vomiting are some of the signs of liver failure in a client with multiple organ failure. Dyspnea is a sign of lung failure. Oliguria and anuria indicate failure of the kidneys.
