Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Distraction is useful when clients are undergoing brief periods of sharp, intense pain, such as dressing changes, wound dbridement, biopsy, or incident pain from shifting positions.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, D
Feedback:
Relaxation, meditation, and biofeedback are behavioral pain relief techniques that the nurse can use to help the client. Relaxation techniques involve a combination of a quiet environment, a comfortable position, a passive attitude, and a focus of concentration. Meditation is a technique in which the person focuses on a single thought or sound. In biofeedback, the client learns voluntary control over autonomic functions such as heart rate, hand temperature, and muscle tension. Massage is a physical pain relief technique used to relax muscles and reduce tension. Hypnosis is a cognitive pain relief technique, not a behavioral technique, which blocks the awareness of pain through suggestions or by substituting another feeling for pain.
