Answer to Question 1

D
Postherpetic neuralgia tends to persist in the dermatome of a spinal nerve. For example, posther-petic neuralgia of C8 (the 8th cervical spinal nerve) should cause burning, itching, or stinging pain along the back of one arm, through the elbow, and down to the smallest finger on the side of the same hand. Persistent pain does not occur along a well-defined path. Osteoarthritic pain is usually persistent but seldom occurs along a well-defined path; the pain is usually localized. Postoperative pain is acute pain that occurs in the area of the surgical procedure and incision.

a. Incorrect. The CIT does not include a caring phase.
b. Correct. The CIT includes a stable phase.
c. Correct. The CIT includes an unstable phase.
d. Incorrect. The CIT does not include a bargaining phase.
e. Correct. The CIT includes a downward and dying phase.
f. Incorrect. The CIT does not include a rehabilitation phase.
