Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: TENS, chiropractic manipulation, and acupuncture are less likely to provide total pain relief. Nerve blocks irreversibly stop impulse transmission along the treated nerves.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: A pain impulse travels to the spinal cord via alpha and C fibers. The alpha fibers are wrapped in myelin (a lipid substance that speeds nerve transmission); the C fibers are not. Once the impulse reaches the spinal cord, neurotransmitters pass the message along to the next neuron.
