Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client is most likely experiencing acute pain, which is characterized by sudden onset and short duration. The absence of nausea or vomiting suggests that the pain is not related to a visceral organ. Chronic pain lasts longer than six months, and phantom pain occurs after the loss of a body part.
