Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
Feedback:
Strategies to help a child with pain at home include offering a back rub or other comfort measures, staying with the child and offering love and support, providing pain medication with the expectation that it will take the pain away, and asking the child to explain what might help relieve the pain. Saying that the child needs to grow up can possibly shame the child and does not help deal with the pain.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Referred pain is pain that is perceived at a site distant from its point of origin. Somatic pain is pain that originates from deep body structures such as muscles or bones. Chronic pain is pain that lasts for a prolonged period or beyond the time span anticipated for healing. Cutaneous pain is pain that arises from superficial structures such as the skin and mucous membrane.
