After an amputation, a resident may experience phantom sensation. Phantom sensation is:

  1. Imaginary pain in the amputated limb

  2. Sensation where the limb existed

  3. Itching in the opposite limb

  4. Burning sensation in the remaining limb

The correct answer is: Imaginary pain in the amputated limb

Phantom sensation is the perception of sensation or movement in a limb that has been amputated. This sensation can vary from tingling or numbness to a feeling of pressure or pain, and is often described as feeling like the limb is still there. While options B, C, and D may seem plausible, they are not accurate definitions of phantom sensation. It is important for healthcare professionals to understand what phantom sensation is in order to effectively manage and address the symptoms experienced by amputees.
