Practice Question
A client is experiencing nociceptive pain. Which condition is associated with this type of pain?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Arthritis
Rationale:
🔹 Nociceptive pain arises from actual or threatened damage to body tissues, typically involving skin, muscles, bones, joints, or viscera.
🔹 Arthritis causes inflammatory joint pain, which is a classic example of nociceptive pain because it activates pain receptors in tissues.
🔹 Trauma can also cause nociceptive pain, but in clinical teaching, arthritis is more directly linked as a chronic nociceptive condition.
🔹 Diabetes is associated with neuropathic pain, resulting from nerve damage rather than nociceptor activation.
🔹 Cancer pain can be mixed (nociceptive + neuropathic), but it is not exclusively nociceptive like arthritis.
