Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What kind of pain is felt in areas other than those stimulated by injury or disease?

Answer: referred pain

This occurs most often with damage or injury to the visceral organs, and the pain is referred to cutaneous surfaces.

2. Pain that appears to have a greater psychological basis than physical one is known as what?

Answer: psychogenic pain

Distinguishing between physical and emotional components of pain is difficult, and it is important to remember that all pain is real.

3. What kind of pain arises from injury to the nervous system and can occur in different forms?

Sharp, spasm-like pain can occur along the course of one or more nerves, such as the trigeminal nerve in the face and the sciatic nerve in the lower back.

4. What analgesics are the most effective for the relief of moderate to severe pain?

Answer: opioids

Opioids must be given on a regular basis to prevent pain from reccuring. Opioid containing drugs are: codeine, morphine, demerol, dilaudid and fentanyl. The most common side effect is constipation.

5. What is PCA?

Answer: patient controlled analgesia

This allows patients to administer their own opioids whenever they fell it is necessary. The patient pushes a button to release a set amount of opioid by bolus intravenously.

6. Why are adjuvant drugs used with analgesics?

Answer: to augment pain relief

Sedatives and anti-anxiety agents are sometimes prescribed to patients with pain. These drugs do not have any analgesic effect but may permit relaxation and decreased anxiety and thus prevent an increase in pain.

7. A type of electrical stimulator that modifies the pain stimulus by blocking or changing the painful stimulus is known as what?

Answer: TENS

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) uses a battery-powered stimulator worn externally. It delivers a balanced biphasic potential in waveform to the painful area using electrodes.

8. What general name is given to the procedure involves the injection of substances such as local anesthetics or neurolytic agents close to the nerves to block the conduction of impulses?

Answer: nerve block

This is used for symptomatic relief of pain. They are used to treat chronic pain associated with peripheral vascular disease, trigeminal neuralgia, causalgia and cancer.

9. An ancient form of disease treatment that can be used for pain relief involves small needles skillfully inserted and manipulated at specific body parts and is called what?

Answer: acupuncture

The local stimulation of large diameter fibers by the needle closes the gate to pain.

10. Which treatment helps patients to alter their perception of pain through the acceptance of positive suggestions made to the subconscious?

Many people are able to learn self hypnosis. Individuals vary widely in their suggestibility and readiness to try this approach.
