Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Endorphins, which are opioid neuromodulators, are produced at neural synapses at various points in the CNS pathway. They have prolonged analgesic effects and produce euphoria. It is suggested that they may be released when measures such as skin stimulation and relaxation techniques are used.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Culture influences an individual's response to pain. It is particularly important to avoid stereotyping responses to pain because the nurse frequently encounters clients who are in pain or anticipating it will develop. A form of pain expression that is frowned upon in one culture may be desirable in another cultural group.
