A. Perception. Perception occurs when the brain processes and interprets the pain signal, which happens after the stimulus has been converted and transmitted.
B. Transduction. Transduction is the process where a painful stimulus, such as touching a hot stove, causes cellular damage, leading to the release of chemical mediators that convert the stimulus into a pain impulse.
C. Modulation. Modulation involves the body's response to pain, including the release of endorphins to inhibit pain signals and reduce pain sensation.
D. Transmission. Transmission refers to the movement of the pain impulse from the site of injury to the spinal cord and brain, occurring after transduction has taken place.

A. The patient's blood pressure must remain elevated during several separate assessments in order to make a diagnosis of hypertension. Hypertension is diagnosed based on persistently elevated blood pressure readings across multiple visits, rather than a single elevated measurement.
B. The patient appeared extremely stressed and the health care provider decided not to inform the patient of the diagnosis at that appointment. While stress can temporarily elevate blood pressure, a diagnosis should be based on multiple readings rather than withholding information from the patient.
C. The patient's primary health care provider must consult with a cardiologist in order to make a diagnosis of hypertension. A cardiology consult is not required to diagnose hypertension; primary care providers can diagnose and manage hypertension independently.
D. The patient's blood pressure must be at least 180/100 during a single assessment in order for a diagnosis of hypertension to be made. A reading of 180/100 mmHg indicates hypertensive crisis, but hypertension is diagnosed when blood pressure is consistently ≥140/90 mmHg on multiple occasions.
