Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Chronic nonmalignant pain is non-life-threatening pain that nevertheless persists beyond the expected time for healing. Chronic lower back pain falls into this category. Malignancy is not mentioned as a cause of the pain. Recurrent acute pain is characterized by relatively well-defined episodes of pain interspersed with pain-free episodes. Ongoing time-limited pain is not a commonly used term for pain.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Complex regional pain syndrome is a neuropathic pain that results from nerve damage. It is characterized by continuous severe, burning pain. These conditions follow peripheral nerve damage and present the symptoms of pain, vasospasm, muscle wasting, and vasomotor changes. This pain was not described as chronic. No amputation has been performed that might explain phantom limb pain. Myofascial pain syndrome is a condition marked by injury to or disease of muscle and fascial tissue.
