Answer to Question 1

C
Deep or visceral pain is diffuse and may radiate in several directions. Visceral pain may be de-scribed as a burning sensation.
Referred pain is felt in a part of the body separate from the source of pain, such as with a myo-cardial infarction, in which pain may be referred to the jaw, left arm, and left shoulder.
Radiating pain feels like it is travelling down or along a body part, such as low back pain that is accompanied by pain radiating down the leg from sciatic nerve irritation.
Superficial or cutaneous pain is of short duration and is localized, as in a small cut.

Answer to Question 2

C
School and home influence growth and development, requiring adjustment by parents and by the child. The child learns to cope with rules and expectations presented by the school and by peers. Parents have to learn to allow their child to make decisions, accept responsibility, and learn from life's experiences. Teenagers typically are very social and have many friends. Adolescents seek a group identity because they need esteem and acceptance. By midadolescence, adolescents believe that they are unique and the exception, giving rise to their risk-taking behaviors. Obesity occurs because children often rush into the home after school or play and eat the most easily obtainable and appealing foods. Providing nutritious snacks is often the best way to ensure good nutritional intake.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
