Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Clinically, the patient's self-report of pain is the most reliable indicator of pain. The risk of addiction to opioids is extremely low, and since the client's pain is acute rather than chronic, it is likely self-limiting.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Pharyngeal efferent neurons innervate brachial arch skeletal muscles, muscles of mastication and facial expression, and muscles of the pharynx and larynx. They also innervate muscles responsible for moving the head. General visceral efferent neurons and preganglionic neurons (same) innervate smooth and cardiac muscle and glandular cells of the body, most of which are in the viscera. Parasympathetic postganglionic neurons have no effect in moving the head.
