MULTIPLE CHOICE
bg bg

bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg




medicalattention. The nurse realizes this client understands that pain is important because it:

response, it does not explain why pain is important. Pain does not create sensitivity to pain. Paindoes
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg




not help with healing.

severe pain that lasts longer than 6 months. Referred pain is the result of the transfer of visceral

bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg




paroxysmal pain that occurs along the branches of a nerve.
