Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Deep or visceral pain is diffuse and may radiate in several directions. Visceral pain may be de-scribed as a burning sensation. Referred pain is felt in a part of the body separate from the source of pain, such as with a myocardial infarction, in which pain may be referred to the jaw, left arm, and left shoulder. Radiating pain feels as though it travels down or along a body part, such as low back pain that is accompanied by pain radiating down the leg from sciatic nerve irritation. Superficial or cutaneous pain is of short duration and is localized as in a small cut.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 3, 4, 5
It is common for the stresses of jobs, family relationships, and social activities to lead frequently to insomnia and the use of medication for sleep. The remaining options reflect a sense of loss but not necessarily of stress.
