Answer to Question 1

A
Acute pain usually has an identifiable cause following acute injury, disease, or surgery. It begins rapidly, varies in intensity (mild to severe), and lasts briefly.

Answer to Question 2

D
The skill of applying a restraint can be delegated to trained nursing assistive personnel. However, the nurse is responsible for assessment of patient's behavior, need for restraint, type of restraint to use, and patient assessments while restraint is in place.
