ATI Nurs 112 Fundamentals of Nursing Exam | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Transduction. Transduction is the process by which a stimulus, in this case, cellular damage from touching a hot stove, is converted into a neural signal or pain impulse. This conversion occurs at the site of the injury, where specialized sensory receptors detect the damage and initiate a series of biochemical events that ultimately result in the generation of an electrical signal that travels along nerve fibers to the brain, where it is interpreted as pain.


Choice A: Perception is the interpretation of the pain signal in the brain, not the initial conversion of the stimulus.


Choice C: Modulation refers to the process of altering the strength or sensitivity of the pain signal, not the initial conversion.


Choice D: Transmission is the transfer of the pain signal along nerve fibers to the brain, not the initial conversion of the stimulus.
