Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Pain thresholds tend to be the same among healthy people, but each person tolerates or bears the sensation of pain differently. Pain tolerance, however, is more subjective and variable between groups and individuals.

Answer to Question 2

D
When pouring a solution into a container on a sterile field, hold the bottle with the label facing upward, about 4 to 6 inches over the container, and pour slowly from the side of the field. This prevents contamination of the label. If the solution is spilled, the field is no longer sterile
