Answer to Question 1

A
Some patients (e.g., some with spinal cord injuries) are unable to sense painful stimuli. You must take special precautions to protect them from additional injury.

Answer to Question 2

A
Maturational factors vary with life stages, such as self-esteem for adolescents; changing family structure due to divorce, illness, or death; peer group stress; and major life changes. Sociocultural factors include environmental and social stressors, which often lead to developmental problems. Posttraumatic factors affect people who have experienced accidents, violent events, and natural disasters.
