Discuss the value of pain as a protective response
What will be an ideal response?
As a physiological response to environment, pain is a protective response. Physiological pain serves to protect against harmful experiences. This protective response is a rapid, reflexive, and subconscious reaction. A less emergent painful annoyance, however, may elicit a slower, conscious level reaction. Without the protective pain response, the ability to maintain a healthy body would be seriously compromised.
