Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
When a nurse asks a client to rate his pain on a scale of 0 to 10, the intensity of the pain is being assessed. Duration is how long the pain has lasted, and location is the site of the pain.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a noninvasive technique for providing pain relief that involves the electrical stimulation of large-diameter fibers to inhibit the transmission of painful impulses carried over small-diameter fibers. It is most beneficial when the pain is localized and the unit can be worn for extended periods of time.
