Answer to Question 1

Chronic pain is recurring and persists for a period of 6 months or longer. It invades the life of a client, impacting the daily activities of the client. The level of intensity experienced by the client with chronic pain will vary. It is not necessarily low in intensity. Sharp elevations in vital signs are not associated with chronic pain.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The pain threshold is the amount of pain stimulation a person requires in order to feel pain. Pain tolerance refers to the ability of an individual to manage differing levels of discomfort. Somatic interval and cephalgia reporting are not legitimate pain terminology.
