1. Multimodal pain management involves:
a. Multiple medications only
b. Combining pharmacological and non-
pharmacological approaches
c. Increasing medication doses
d. Using opioids exclusively
ANS: B
Rationale: Multimodal pain management integrates
pharmacological interventions (e.g., analgesics) with non-
pharmacological strategies (e.g., physical therapy,
relaxation techniques, acupuncture) to optimize pain relief
while minimizing side effects. According to the American
Pain Society (2023), this approach targets different pain
pathways, improving outcomes and reducing opioid
reliance. For example, combining NSAIDs with cognitive-
behavioral therapy can address both physical and
psychological aspects of pain, enhancing patient comfort
and recovery.

OBJ: Implement multimodal pain management.

2. Which pain assessment tool is most appropriate
for a non-verbal patient?

, PassMarks
a. Numeric Pain Rating Scale
b. Wong-Baker FACES Scale
c. FLACC Scale
d. Visual Analog Scale
ANS: C
Rationale: The FLACC (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry,
Consolability) Scale is designed for non-verbal patients, such
as infants or those with cognitive impairments, by assessing
behavioral and physical indicators of pain. The National
Institute of Nursing Research (2024) emphasizes that FLACC
is reliable for observing subtle cues like facial grimacing or
body tension in patients unable to self-report. Numeric and
Visual Analog Scales require verbal or cognitive input, while
the Wong-Baker FACES Scale is better suited for children
who can point to a face.
DIF: Apply (application)
OBJ: Select appropriate pain assessment tools.

3. A patient reports pain as "burning and shooting" in
nature. This is most characteristic of:
a. Somatic pain
b. Visceral pain
c. Neuropathic pain

d. Referred pain
ANS: C
Rationale: Neuropathic pain is described as burning,
shooting, or electric-like due to nerve damage or
dysfunction, often seen in conditions like diabetic
neuropathy or post-herpetic neuralgia. The International
Association for the Study of Pain (IASP, 2024) notes that
neuropathic pain arises from lesions or diseases affecting
the somatosensory nervous system, distinguishing it from
somatic pain (sharp, localized) or visceral pain (dull, diffuse).
Referred pain originates from a different site.
DIF: Analyze (analysis)
OBJ: Differentiate types of pain based on patient
descriptions.

MSC: Physiological Adaptation
4. Which non-pharmacological intervention is most
effective for acute pain relief?
a. Aromatherapy
b. Guided imagery
c. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
d. Massage therapy
ANS: C
Rationale: TENS is highly effective for acute pain relief by
