Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3, 4, 5
Explanation: Secondary gains are indirect benefits that a person may get from a condition that involves pain and suffering. These indirect benefits may include escape from some responsibilities, disability benefits, and the provision of personal services. Sympathy and attention are some direct or primary benefits that a patient may experience from pain and suffering.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: A pathway of particular interest in the discussion of pain is that of the opioid-mediated pain modulation circuit that has opioid peptide receptors with a significant pain modulating and relief effect. Morphine is an opioid analgesic. Serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine affect pain modulation and perception through a variety of neural pathways.
