Question 1

You have a really bad sunburn and developed blisters on the worst areas.You have third-degree burns.

Accepted Answer

Sunburn with blisters typically indicates a second-degree burn, not a third-degree burn. Third-degree burns affect deeper tissues and often result in a white or charred appearance, without blisters.

Question 2

Most research suggests that chronic pain leads to psychological disturbance - not the other way around.

Accepted Answer

Most studies indicate that chronic pain is likely to cause emotional distress such as depression, anxiety, and irritability, rather than emotional disturbance leading to pain.

Question 3

C-fibres are associated with diffuse, dully burning or aching sensations.

Answer: D
 Nociceptors are sensory receptors that respond to noxious stimuli, such as heat, pressure, or chemical irritants, and transmit pain signals.

Answer: C
 Serotonin, histamine, and bradykinin are examples of chemical mediators that can activate nociceptors and cause pain.

Answer: E
 Endogenous opioids are naturally occurring neurochemicals that can help to dampen pain signals in the central nervous system.

Answer: A
 A-delta fibres are myelinated nerve fibers that are involved in acute, sharp, and well-localised pain sensations.

Question 8

According to gate control theory, the gating mechanism is found in a portion of the thalamus.

Accepted Answer

The gating mechanism proposed by the gate control theory is located in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, not in the thalamus.

Question 9

Match the following with the statements
-Shooting or stabbing pain along the course of a nerve

Accepted Answer

Neuralgia is a condition characterized by shooting or stabbing pain along the course of a nerve.

Answer: B
 Phantom limb is a sensation that an amputated or missing limb is still present and may include pain, itching or tingling.

Answer: C
 Causalgia is a severe burning pain in a limb caused by injury to a peripheral nerve.

Answer: A
 Referred pain is pain perceived at a site different from the site of an injury or disease.

Answer: E
 Analgesia is the inability to feel pain.

Question 10

Match the following with the statements in one through
-Endorphin and enkephalin

Accepted Answer

Endorphins and enkephalins are endogenous opioids.

Answer: A 
 A-delta fibers are small, myelinated fibers that transmit fast pain signals.

Answer: B 
 C-fibers are unmyelinated fibers that transmit slow, dull, and persistent pain signals.

Answer: D 
 Nociceptors are sensory receptors that respond to painful stimuli.

Answer: C
 Serotonin, histamine, and bradykinin are examples of chemical mediators that are released during tissue damage and contribute to the sensation of pain.

Question 11

Match the following with the statements
-State of not being able to feel pain

Accepted Answer

Analgesia refers to the state of not being able to feel pain.

Note: 
A) Referred pain is a type of pain that is felt in a different part of the body from where the actual source of the pain is located. 
B) Phantom limb sensation is the perception of feeling sensations in a limb that has been amputated. 
C) Causalgia refers to a severe burning pain that is usually caused by nerve damage. 
D) Neuralgia is a type of pain that is caused by damage to a nerve.

Question 12

The EMG is useful for assessing the muscle tension frequently associated with pain.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The EMG is useful for assessing the...

Question 13

Research indicates that placebos have no physiological effect.

Accepted Answer

While placebos do not contain active ingredients, research has shown that they can have a physiological effect on some individuals. This is known as the placebo effect, where a person experiences a perceived improvement in their condition simply because they believe they are receiving a treatment, even if that treatment is inert. The placebo effect is a well-documented phenomenon in medical research.

Question 14

Match the following with the statements
-A pain experienced in amputees

Accepted Answer

Phantom limb pain is a type of pain experienced by amputees where they feel pain in the limb that is no longer there.

Answer: C
 Causalgia is a type of pain that is felt in the nerves of an amputee. It is characterized by a burning or tingling sensation.

Answer: D
 Neuralgia is a type of pain caused by damage or irritation to a nerve.

Answer: A
 Referred pain is a type of pain that is felt in a different part of the body than where the actual problem is.

Answer: E
 Analgesia is the absence of pain sensation.

Question 15

Match the following with the statements in one through
-Promote immune system activity and cause inflammation at the injury site

Accepted Answer

Serotonin, histamine, and bradykinin are all molecules released during tissue injury that promote immune system activity and cause inflammation at the injury site.

Answer: D
 Nociceptors are sensory receptors that detect tissue damage or the potential for tissue damage, sending signals to the brain that result in the perception of pain.

Note: A-delta fibres and C-fibres are types of nerve fibers that transmit pain signals to the brain, while endogenous opioids are naturally occurring substances in the body that can help to block pain signals. However, none of these match the given statement about promoting immune system activity and causing inflammation at the injury site.

Question 16

Organic pain and psychogenic pain differ only in the degree of tissue damage.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Organic pain and psychogenic pain differ only...

Question 17

Match the following with the statements in one through
-Nerve endings that respond to pain

Accepted Answer

Nociceptors are the nerve endings that detect or respond to pain.

Answer: A, B
 A-delta fibres and C-fibres are two types of nociceptors that are responsible for transmitting pain signals to the brain.

Answer: C
 Serotonin, histamine, and bradykinin are chemicals released by damaged tissues and play a role in activating nociceptors and causing pain.

Answer: E
 Endogenous opioids are the body's natural painkillers that can bind to receptors on nociceptors and block pain signals from being transmitted to the brain.

Accepted Answer

The wife performing many chores for Jerry is a secondary gain for his pain, indicating that Jerry may have some hidden benefits or advantages from his pain.

Question 20

One common way of measuring pain in children under the age of five is to observe the pain behaviours they exhibit

Accepted Answer

Yes, observing pain behaviours is a common way of measuring pain in children under the age of five as they may not be able to express their pain verbally. Pain behaviours such as crying, facial expressions, and changes in activities or behavior can indicate pain in young children.
