Question 1 of 5
A client with a spinal cord injury reports hot, burning, tingling, pain that shoots down his extremities. When the client asks why this occurs, what is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: C

This type of pain is often experienced by individuals with spinal cord injuries due to disrupted nerve signals. Repositioning (choice
A) would not address the underlying cause of the pain.
Choice B is incorrect as it suggests an ongoing inflammatory process, which is not typically associated with this type of pain.
Choice D is incorrect as neuropathic pain is chronic and may not resolve quickly.
