Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acute pain is a protective mechanism that alerts the individual to a condition or experience that is immediately harmful to the body. Chronic pain lasts long beyond the time of an actual injury and serves no purpose. Pain is what each person says it is so there is no psychogenic pain. Phantom pain is a type of chronic pain where sensations are felt without the typical stimuli, and is seen in people who have had amputations.
