Answer to Question 1

A
Cutaneous pain is caused by stimulation of the cutaneous nerve endings in the skin and results in a well-localized burning or prickling sensation. Somatic pain is nonlocalized. Visceral pain is less localized and more slowly transmitted than is cutaneous pain. Referred pain is not felt in the organ itself but rather is perceived at the spot where the organs were located during fetal development.

Answer to Question 2

3. Install grab bars in the bathroom near the commode and in the shower.

Rationale:
The client should be encouraged to install grab bars in the bathroom near the commode and in the shower. The client should be instructed not to overuse the affected joints with excessive stair climbing. Scatter rugs are a hazard to mobility and should be avoided. The client should be instructed to sit in a straight back chair, avoid slumping, and avoid the use of a recliner.
