Answer to Question 1

B
These two forms of pain respond differently to analgesic drugs.
Nociceptive pain results from injury to tissue, whereas neuropathic pain results from injury to peripheral nerves.
Somatic pain is not a common subtype of neuropathic pain, but rather nociceptive pain.
Among cancer patients, nociceptive pain is more common than neuropathic pain.

Answer to Question 2

B
A dose-limiting effect of nelfinavir is moderate to severe diarrhea, which can lead to dehydra-tion. It may also cause hyperglycemia.
A blood glucose level of 78 is not indicative of hyperglycemia.
Nelfinavir is not known to cause tingling in the extremities or weight loss.
