Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
An individual's experience of pain in the past, and the qualities of that experience, profoundly affect new pain experiences. Some clients have experienced severe acute or chronic pain in the past but received immediate and adequate pain relief. These clients are generally unafraid of pain and initiate appropriate requests for assistance.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Many misconceptions interfere with the client's ability to communicate pain. A common misconception is that if I ask for something for pain, I may become addicted to the medication.
