Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D, E
Neuropathic pain results from abnormal pain processing and is seen in amputations and neuropathies. Somatic pain can arise from superficial sources such as skin, or deep sources such as bone and connective tissues. Visceral pain originates from organs or their linings and is often diffuse and poorly localized. Nociceptive pain is normal pain processing and consists of somatic and visceral pain.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
There are many physiologic impacts of unrelieved pain, including decreased immune response; development of chronic pain; decreased GI motility; immobility; slower healing; prolonged stress response; and increased heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen demand.
