Answer to Question 1

1
Allodynia or hyperalgesia is a state where a slight or nonpainful stimulus is interpreted as very painful. Kinesthesia is the awareness of movement. Proprioception is the awareness of body position. Modulation is an influencing factor in the perception of pain.

Answer to Question 2

2
Risk factors for the development of varicose veins include thrombophlebitis, obesity, prolonged standing, pregnancy, and liver or pancreas dysfunction. Normal weight, activity, and balanced diet are not risk factors for the development of varicose veins.
