Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Acute pain is pain of varying severity, location, and etiology that
Lasts fewer than 6 months. Acute pain is often manifested by nausea, vomiting, and restlessness. Chronic pain lasts longer than 6 months and persists beyond the expected period of healing. End-of-life pain is pain that is associated with the process of dying. Fibromyalgia pain is widespread muscular and joint pain.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, C, D

A higher incidence of leukemia associated with chromosomal defects such as Bloom syndrome, exposure to infectious agents, and chemical agents used to treat previous cancer, such as alkylating agents. Low-fat diets are not a risk factor for leukemia, and neither is lack of exercise.
