|\ |\ |\ |\

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
a trauma to the spinal cord?

Patient A is recovering from a second abdominal surgery and is
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
relatively calm and quiet. Patient B is also recovering from the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
same surgery, but for the first time, and is crying out in pain and

rating the pain at a much higher level that Patient A. What is the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
best possible reason for the differences in their behavior?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Pain tolerance--the duration or intensity of pain a person will
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
endure before outwardly responding—experienced before vs new.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
•Pain tolerance decreases with repeated exposure to pain,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
fatigue, anger, boredom, and sleep deprivation.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
, •Tolerance increases after alcohol consumption, medications,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
hypnosis, warmth, distracting activities, and strong faith-related
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
beliefs. |\
Therefore, the pain tolerance for Client B is lower than that of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Client A. This is likely due to Client A having experienced this
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
type of pain before. |\ |\ |\ |\
