Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Moisture must be present because heat is lost through evaporation from the surface of skin and lining of mucous membranes, a major source of heat reduction connected with increased sweat-ing in warmer surroundings. Fever is not required for evaporation to occur, but moisture is. Pyro-gens are heat producers and do not assist with evaporation, but moisture is required. Trauma is not a portion of the evaporative process of heat loss.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Chronic or persistent pain has been defined as lasting for more than 3-6 months.
