Question: Define the term “nociceptive pain” and explain why this patient would be experiencing this type of pain
Homework Answers
Nociceptive pain is medical term used to describe severe pain due to physical damage or potential damage to the body. It occurs due to the triggering of nociceptive nerves by physical injury, chemicals or inflammation.
Nociceptive pain in cancer patients occurred due damage or injury to the tissues as a result of direct inversion of cancer cells to surrounding tissues of nerves, visceral organs or muscles. Other cause of nociceptive pain in cancer patients is the tissues damage due to chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
