Answer:

C. responds to damage

Explanation:

It is believed, according to the specificity theory that pain has it's own set of receptors and nerve endings that is assigned to perceive pain. There are specialised peripheral receptors that react to 'damage' caused by the specific pain. So, this theory of specificity is classified as pain and pain perception being it's own independent sense just like seeing, hearing and feeling and tasting etc.

Answer:

C. relates the amount of pain to the amount of soft tissue injury.

Explanation:

Specificity theory of pain, which is one of the first modern theories of pain, states that there are unique sensory receptors and sensory fibers that are responsible for transmitting of signals of pain to the part of the brain to interpret pain through neural pathways, which are different from other systems of sensory sensation like vision. It holds that these sensory receptors of pain respond to damage, and thereby sends the signals to the brain. According to this theory, the amount of pain the brain perceives can be related to the amount of soft tissue injury, as pain is produced by impulses transmitted to the pain center in the brain as a result of an injury.

The nurse assesses a responsive adult and determines she is choking. Which intervention should the nurse implement?.
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

When a child is choking and can't breathe or speak, you MUST give abdominal thrusts (the Heimlich maneuver). The Heimlich maneuver pushes air from the child's lungs which helps to remove the blocking object. You should give abdominal thrusts until the object is forced out or the victim becomes unresponsive.

A 5-day-old infant presents with a chief complaint of jaundice. As you obtain a careful history and physical examination, which
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

D Phenylketonuria

Explanation:

Infant jaundice is caused by buildup of a compound bilirubin in infant's blood. It leads to yellowing of skin and eyes. There are several risk factors which should be kept in mind. People with east Asian or Mediterranean descent are at more risk of jaundice. Prolonged bruising during labor can lead to breakdown of more red blood cells hence production of more bilirubin again increasing jaundice risk. If mother's blood type is different from the child, the child might receive antibodies from the mother via placenta, hence breakdown of RBCs . Poor breastfeeding can also lead to improper development of baby making it more susceptible to jaundice.

Phenylketonuria is a metabolism error and leads to reduced metabolism of Phenylalanaine. It has got nothing to do with jaundice.
