Answer to Question 1

1. Parkinson's disease

Rationale:
Manifestations of Parkinson's disease include nonintentional tremor, slowed movements, low amplitude of speech, expressionless face, and muscle rigidity. The client is complaining of or exhibiting all these symptoms, indicating Parkinson's disease. These symptoms are not manifestations of multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or a cerebral vascular accident.

Answer to Question 2

A
Acute pain has a sudden onset and relatively short duration. An example of acute pain is a fracture. Recurrent acute pain is repetitive painful episodes that may recur over a prolonged period. Chronic pain is pain that lasts six months or longer. Chronic acute pain is not a type of pain.
