Correct Answers
Pain Correct Answer: "unpleasant sensory & emotional experience associated
with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage"
Pain perception Correct Answer: conscious awareness of a painful sensation
Pain tolerance Correct Answer: the duration of time or the intensity of pain an
individual will endure before displaying noticeable pain responses (maximum
amount of pain)
Pain threshold Correct Answer: minimum point at which something, such as
pressure or heat, causes you pain.
Nociceptive pain Correct Answer: caused by tissue injury, well-localized and
often described as aching or throbbing
Pain tolerance decreased Correct Answer: repeated exposure, also decreased
by fatigue, anger, boredom, apprehension and sleep deprivation
Pain tolerance increased by Correct Answer: alcohol consumption, persistent
use of analgesia, hypnosis, warmth, distraction and strong beliefs or faith
Neuromodulation Correct Answer: physiologic process to facilitate or suppress
pain
Acute pain Correct Answer: a protective mechanism (its function is to alert the
person to a condition or experience that is harmful)
,Chronic pain Correct Answer: pain that has been present for at least 3 months
or longer than the time expected tissue healing
Acute somatic pain Correct Answer: arises from connective tissue, muscle,
bone, & tissue
Acute Visceral pain Correct Answer: pain arises from the internal organs & lining
of body cavities. Pain is poorly localized as a result of the fewer number of
nociceptors
Depression Correct Answer: common for chronic pain
Specific or nonspecific back pain Correct Answer: many individuals of all ages
have chronic back pain
Myofascial pain syndrome Correct Answer: injury to the muscle & fascia &
tendons has occurred (ex. spasm, tenderness, stiffness)
Chronic postoperative pain Correct Answer: changes in the PNS & CNS
contribute to allodynia & hypersensitivity
Cancer pain Correct Answer: pain results from the treatment for cancer or from
the cancer itself.
Phantom limb chronic pain Correct Answer: pain is felt in an amputated limb
after the stump has completely healed
Neuralgia Correct Answer: chronic nerve pain
Peripheral neuropathic pain Correct Answer: injured nerves become
hyperexcitable
Central neuropathic pain Correct Answer: is caused by a lesion or dysfunction in
the brain or spinal cord
, Temperature regulation Correct Answer: achieved by balancing (heat
production, heat conservation, and heat loss)
Hypothalamic Control Correct Answer: peripheral thermoreceptors in the skin
Hypothalamus Correct Answer: receives information
Heat production Correct Answer: chemical reactions of metabolism, skeletal
contraction, and chemical thermogenesis
Mechanisms of Heat loss Correct Answer: radiation, conduction, convection,
evaporation, increased respiration, vasodilation, decreased muscle tone,
voluntary measure, adaptation to warm environment
Convection Correct Answer: when a stream of air (wind) is cooler than body
surface temp
Aging and temp Correct Answer: decreased vasoconstrictor response,
decreased or absent sweating, dyschronization or circadian rhythm, under
nutrition, decreased perception of heat and cold
Fever Correct Answer: "a temporary resetting of the hypothalamic thermostat to
a higher level in response to endogenous or exogenous pyrogens"
Benefits of fever Correct Answer: helps the response to infectious processes, it
helps kill microorganisms, adversely affects the growth & replication of other
microorganisms, decrease serum levels or iron, zinc, & copper
Heat cramps Correct Answer: severe spasmodic cramps in the abdomen &
extremities that occur after prolonged sweating resulting in sodium lost (fever,
tachycardia & increased bp often occur)
Heat exhaustion Correct Answer: leading to profound vasodilation & sweating --
> leads to dehydration (feel weak, dizzy, nauseated, & faint)
