Chapter 1. Pain MULTIPLE CHOICE
1.A client tells the nurse that she rarely experiences pain, but when she does, she seeks medical
attention. The nurse realizes this client understands that pain is important because it:
1. is a protective system.
2. includes the automatic withdrawal reflex.
3. creates sensitivity to pain.
4. helps with healing.
ANS: 1
Pain is a protective system that includes protection from unsafe behaviors by use of reflexes,
memory, and avoidance. Even though the automatic withdrawal reflex is a part of the pain
response, it does not explain why pain is important. Pain does not create sensitivity to pain. Pain
does not help with healing.

realizes this client is experiencing:
1. allodynia.
2. modulation.
3. kinesthesia.
4. proprioception.
ANS: 1
Allodynia or hyperalgesia is a state where a slight or nonpainful stimulus is interpreted as very

4.A client, diagnosed with acute appendicitis, is experiencing abdominal pain. The best way for
the nurse to describe this clients pain would be:
1. chronic.
2. neuropathic.
3. referred.
4. acute.
ANS: 4
Acute pain onset is sudden and of short duration. Chronic pain is a sudden or slow onset of mild
to severe pain that lasts longer than 6 months. Referred pain is the result of the transfer of
visceral pain sensations to a body surface at a distance from the actual origin. Neuropathic pain
is paroxysmal pain that occurs along the branches of a nerve.

5.A client is observed holding a pillow over the abdominal region with both knees flexed in a
side-lying position. Vital signs assessment reveals an elevated blood pressure and heart rate.
Which of the following should the nurse say to this client?
1. Can I get you anything?
2. Would you like something for pain?
3. You look comfortable.
4. Your blood pressure is up.
ANS: 2
Sympathetic responses to pain include elevated blood pressure and heart rate. And since the
client is hugging a pillow over the abdominal region with both knees flexed in a side-lying
position, the best thing for the nurse to say to this client is Would you like something for pain?
The other responses are incorrect because they do not acknowledge that the client is experiencing
pain.
