Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has phantom limb pain. The nurse should identify the client is experiencing which type of pain?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Neuropathic pain. Phantom limb pain is a type of neuropathic pain that occurs in a limb that has been amputated. This type of pain is caused by damage or malfunction of the nervous system. The nerves in the residual limb continue to send pain signals to the brain, even though the limb is no longer there. Acute pain (choice
A) is sudden and short-term, usually due to injury or surgery. Cancer pain (choice
B) is caused by tumors pressing on nerves or organs. Chronic pain (choice
C) lasts for an extended period, often beyond the expected time for healing.
Therefore, choices A, B, and C are incorrect in this context. Neuropathic pain (choice
D) best describes the specific type of pain experienced by a client with phantom limb pain.
