Which pain characteristic might the nurse suspect in a patient with kidney stones? The pain is of short duration and localized. The pain is diffuse and radiates in several directions. The pain radiates from the site of the injury to another body part. The pain is in a part of the body separate from the source of pain.

An 8-year-old wakes up in the middle of the night with sharp pain located in the right lower quadrant. He had been complaining of epigastric discomfort that started shortly after dinner that same evening. In the ER, the doctor elicits a positive McBurney's sign, which is pain with palpation of the right lower quadrant, as well as a positive Rovsing's sign, which is increased pain in the right lower quadrant with deep palpation of the left lower quadrant. Both of these physical exam findings are strong indicators of acute appendicitis, and the previous epigastric pain is also suspicious for appendicitis. Explain why pain from appendicitis manifests in this way. Describe the pain pathway involved, knowing the appendix is located in the right lower quadrant in this patient. Be specific regarding the type of nerves involved and the type of pain input being transmitted and, therefore, experienced.
