Solution

Answer

The answer is B. A personal experience to be respected regardless of objective evidence of tissue damage.

Explanation

Option A: Unpleasant sensory experience associated directly with actual tissue damage

This option focuses on the sensory aspect of pain related to tissue damage, which is part of the traditional understanding of pain but not the specific qualifying statement added in the revised definition.

Option B: A personal experience to be respected regardless of objective evidence of tissue damage

This option reflects the revised definition by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), which emphasizes the subjective nature of pain and the importance of respecting an individual's experience of pain, even if there is no objective evidence of tissue damage.

Option C: Sensory experience driven by nociception from trauma or damage at peripheral sensory receptors

This option describes a physiological process related to pain but does not capture the essence of the revised definition, which focuses on the subjective and personal nature of pain.

Option D: Symptom management approach that incorporates biological, psychological and social factors contributing to the experience

While this option aligns with the biopsychosocial model of pain management, it does not specifically address the qualifying statement added to the definition of pain by the IASP.
