Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the gate control theory of pain, distraction and activity can help to close the "gate" that allows pain signals to reach the brain. Lacey, who sits around and complains about the pain, is not engaging in any distracting or activating behavior, which may lead to greater pain perception. It's important for her to find ways to stay occupied and distracted to help manage her pain.
