A patient tells her nurse that she has had chronic pain for approximately 2 years and that her primary care physician is talking about ordering her a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) unit.
 
  When asked how a TENS unit helps pain, the nurse explains that it
  1. Relieves pain by stimulating and opening the gate.
  2. Delivers electrical stimulation, which, in turn, stimulates the broad nerve fibers.
  3. Uses electrical shock waves to numb pain.
  4. Comforts by tricking the brain's impulse delivery.
