Types and Sources of Pain in Children ( 38 Questions)
The nurse explains that one type of pain is caused by the activation of pain receptors due to tissue damage.
Which of the following statements by a parent indicates an understanding of this type of pain?
This statement correctly indicates an understanding of pain caused by the activation of pain receptors due to tissue damage. When a child falls and scrapes their knee, the physical injury leads to the activation of pain receptors in the damaged tissue, causing pain. This is a clear example of nociceptive pain, which results from tissue damage and inflammation.
This statement is not correct. Headaches can have various causes, including tension, migraines, or other medical conditions. It may not necessarily be related to tissue damage or the activation of pain receptors due to injury.
This statement is not entirely accurate. While children can complain about stomachaches, they may not always be related to tissue damage or pain receptor activation. Stomachaches can be caused by various factors, including gastrointestinal issues or emotional distress.
This statement is not accurate in the context of nociceptive pain. Pain after chemotherapy is more likely to be related to chemotherapy-induced tissue damage or inflammation rather than pain receptor activation. It may involve other mechanisms as well, such as neuropathic pain.
Choice A rationale:
This statement correctly indicates an understanding of pain caused by the activation of pain receptors due to tissue damage.
When a child falls and scrapes their knee, the physical injury leads to the activation of pain receptors in the damaged tissue, causing pain.

Choice B rationale:
This statement is not correct.
Headaches can have various causes, including tension, migraines, or other medical conditions.
It may not necessarily be related to tissue damage or the activation of pain receptors due to injury.
Choice C rationale:
This statement is not entirely accurate.

Stomachaches can be caused by various factors, including gastrointestinal issues or emotional distress.
Choice D rationale:
This statement is not accurate in the context of nociceptive pain.
Pain after chemotherapy is more likely to be related to chemotherapy-induced tissue damage or inflammation rather than pain receptor activation.
It may involve other mechanisms as well, such as neuropathic pain.
