cultural, and environmental factors."
"Pain tolerance is the minimum intensity of pain a client will
endure." Correct Answer a

intermittent, severe, stabbing facial pain that she describes as

accompanied by involuntary grimacing. What diagnosis is most
likely?
Migraine headache
Postherpetic neuralgia
