Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Commonly, people with chronic pain experience periods of remission (when the disease is present but the person does not experience symptoms) or exacerbation (the symptoms reappear).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Examples of tactile kinesthetic distraction include holding or stroking a loved one, pet, or toy; rocking; and slow rhythmic breathing. Project distraction includes playing a challenging game or performing meaningful work. Visual distraction can be accomplished through reading or watching television. Auditory distraction may occur when one listens to music.
