Answer to Question 1

C, D, E
Neuropathic pain is best relieved by antidepressants, anti-inflammatory agents, and anticonvul-sants. Analgesics and opioids generally do not alleviate neuropathic pain.

Answer to Question 2

D
The nursing process is based on the belief that all people have worth and dignity. Pa-tient-centered care that is applied to all aspects of the patient's health, and is not just disease oriented, is appreciated by the family and patient. Holistic care approach can support the patient to meet basic needs.
