Glasgow Pain Scoring System
Client-specific outcome measures scale

About 40% of the body weight is water
About two thirds of the total body water resides inside the cells
Blood plasma makes up about 5% of the total body weight
Dogs have a larger total blood volume than cats
There is none - correct answer ✔✔The "gold standard" to assess pain is
A physiological assessment
A clinical pathological assessment
A behavioral assessment
There is none
Block transmission of the impulse along the nerve fiber - correct answer ✔✔Local anesthetics
Cause increased release of inhibitory neurotransmitters
Block transmission of the impulse along the nerve fiber
Work by acting on GABA receptors
Block catecholamine release
Heart failure - correct answer ✔✔Which of the following best describes the inability to move
blood forward effectively enough to meet metabolic needs
Liver failure
,Heart failure
Renal failure
Pulmonary failure
All of the above - correct answer ✔✔Where can inflammatory pain occur?
Muscles, joints, skin, and periosteum

20 mg/mL - correct answer ✔✔A 2% solution of lidocaine has a mg/mL concentration of:
2 mg/mL
0.2 mg/mL

20 mg/mL
Multidimensional pain scales yield better interobserver agreement than unidimensional pain
scales. - correct answer ✔✔Which of the following statements regarding pain assessment in
dogs is true?
Physiological parameters, such as heart rate and blood pressure, are sensitive tools for assessing
pain in dogs.
A visual analog scale is a type of multidimensional pain scale and is useful for assessing pain in
dogs.
Multidimensional pain scales yield better interobserver agreement than unidimensional pain
scales.
Multidimensional pain scales correlate closely with vocalization and serum cortisol levels in
chronically painful dogs.
, Loss of sensation in a limited area of the body produced by administration of a local anesthetic
or other agent in proximity to sensory nerves - correct answer ✔✔Which of the following
statements define regional anesthesia?
Loss of sensation in a limited area of the body produced by administration of a local anesthetic
or other agent in proximity to sensory nerves
Loss of sensation in a small area of the body produced by administration of a local anesthetic
agent in proximity to the area of interest
Loss of sensation of a localized area produced by administration of a local anesthetic directly to
a body surface or to a surgical or traumatic wound
A drug-induced sleeplike state that impairs the ability of the patient to respond appropriately to
stimuli

about how many minutes before use?
2-4 min
1-2 min
1-15 min
5-10 min
Visual analog scale - correct answer ✔✔The observer's subjective interpretation of behavior
and assessment of physiologic pain can be described using a pain-rating instrument such as:
Visual analog scale
