,Chapter 1. Pain
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1.A client tells the nurse that she rarely experiences pain, but when she does, she seeks
medicalattention. The nurse realizes this client understands that pain is important
because it:
1. is a protective system.
2. includes the automatic withdrawal reflex.
3. creates sensitivity to pain.
4. helps with healing.
ANS: 1
Pain is a protective system that includes protection from unsafe behaviors by use of
reflexes, memory, and avoidance. Even though the automatic withdrawal reflex is a part of
the pain response, it does not explain why pain is important. Pain does not create
sensitivity to pain. Pain does not help with healing.

2.A client complains that the bed sheets touching his skin are extremely painful. The
nurserealizes this client is experiencing:
1. allodynia.
2. modulation.
3. kinesthesia.
4. proprioception.
ANS: 1
Allodynia or hyperalgesia is a state where a slight or nonpainful stimulus is interpreted as
very painful. Kinesthesia is the awareness of movement. Proprioception is the awareness
of body position. Modulation is an influencing factor in the perception of pain.

3.A client is complaining of severe abdomen pain. The nurse realizes this client is
experiencingwhich type of pain?
1. Neuralgia
2. Pathological
3. Somatic
4. Visceral
ANS: 4
Visceral pain is pain arising from the body organs or gastrointestinal tract. Somatic pain is
pain that originates from the bone, joints, muscles, skin, or connective pain. Neuralgia and
pathological pain are both types of pain that result from injury to a nerve or malfunction of
theneuronal transmission process or due to impaired regulation.

4.A client, diagnosed with acute appendicitis, is experiencing abdominal pain. The best
2|Page
,way forthe nurse to describe this clients pain would be:
1. chronic.
2. neuropathic.
3. referred.
4. acute.
ANS: 4
Acute pain onset is sudden and of short duration. Chronic pain is a sudden or slow onset of
mild to severe pain that lasts longer than 6 months. Referred pain is the result of the
transfer of visceral pain sensations to a body surface at a distance from the actual origin.
Neuropathic pain is paroxysmal pain that occurs along the branches of a nerve.

5.A client is observed holding a pillow over the abdominal region with both knees flexed
in a side-lying position. Vital signs assessment reveals an elevated blood pressure and
heart rate. Which of the following should the nurse say to this client?
1. Can I get you anything?
2. Would you like something for pain?
3. You look comfortable.
4. Your blood pressure is up.
ANS: 2
Sympathetic responses to pain include elevated blood pressure and heart rate. And since
the client is hugging a pillow over the abdominal region with both knees flexed in a side-
lying position, the best thing for the nurse to say to this client is Would you like something
for pain? The other responses are incorrect because they do not acknowledge that the
client is experiencing pain.

6.A client experiencing chronic pain asks the nurse why she is not prescribed Demerol
like she received when she had a total knee replacement. Which of the following should
the nurse respond to this client?
1. You dont need something that strong.
2. That medication does not exist anymore.
3. That medication does not last very long.
4. It can cause you have high blood pressure.
ANS: 3
Meperidine is no longer a major drug for acute or chronic pain due to its short analgesic
duration of 2 to 3 hours and the potential for accumulative toxic effects of its metabolite,
normeperidine. The best response for the nurse to make to the client would be that
medication does not last very long. The other responses are inaccurate.
PTS:1DIF:ApplyREF:Opioid Analgesics
7.A client is informed that a tricyclic antidepressant medication is going to help control
3|Page
, his chronic pain. The nurse would expect the physician to prescribe:
1. Amitriptyline.
2. Baclofen.
3. Gabapentin.
4. Diazepam.
ANS: 1
Amitriptyline is an antidepressant. Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant. Baclofen is a
musclerelaxant. Diazepam is a benzodiazepine.
PTS: 1 DIF: Analyze REF: Adjuvant Medications

3. psychosomatic pain.
4. acute pain.
ANS: 1
Breakthrough pain is commonly seen in the advanced stages of cancer. It is spontaneous,
unpredictable, and can be initiated by certain activities such as during activities of daily
living. Intractable pain is resistant to some or all forms of therapy. Psychosomatic pain is
that which has a psychological origin. The client is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Acute
