A client has been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. The client has experienced
increased fatigue and worsening physical status and is finding it difficult to
maintain the role of elder in his cultural community. The elder is expected to attend
social events and make community decisions. Stress seems to exacerbate the
condition. What action by the nurse is best?
a. Assess the client's culture more thoroughly.
b. Discuss options for performing duties.
c. See if the client will call a community meeting.
,d. Suggest the client give up the role of elder. - ANSWER-a. Assess the client's
culture more thoroughly.
The nurse needs a more thorough understanding of the client's culture, including
the meaning of illness and the ramifications of the elder not being able to perform
traditional duties. This must be done prior to offering any possible solutions. If the
nurse does not understand the consequences of what is suggested, the client may
simply be unwilling to listen or participate in problem solving. The other options
may be reasonable depending on the outcome of a better cultural understanding.
A client has rheumatoid arthritis that especially affects the hands. The client wants
to finish quilting a baby blanket before the birth of her grandchild. What response
by the nurse is best?
a. Lets ask the provider about increasing your pain pills.
b. Hold ice bags against your hands before quilting.
c. Try a paraffin wax dip 20 minutes before you quilt.
d. You need to stop quilting before it destroys your fingers. - ANSWER-c. Try a
paraffin wax dip 20 minutes before you quilt.
Paraffin wax dips are beneficial for decreasing pain in arthritic hands and lead to
increased mobility. The nurse can suggest this comfort measure. Increasing pain
pills will not help with movement. Ice has limited use unless the client has a hot or
exacerbated joint. The client wants to finish her project, so the nurse should not
negate its importance by telling the client it is destroying her joints.
A client has newly diagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). What
instruction by the nurse is most important?
a. Be sure you get enough sleep at night.
b. Eat plenty of high-protein, high-iron foods.
c. Notify your provider at once if you get a fever.
,d. Weigh yourself every day on the same scale. - ANSWER-c. Notify your
provider at once if you get a fever.
Fever is the classic sign of a lupus flare and should be reported immediately. Rest
and nutrition are important but do not take priority over teaching the client what to
do if he or she develops an elevated temperature. Daily weights may or may not be
important depending on renal involvement.
The nursing student studying rheumatoid arthritis (RA) learns which facts about
the disease? (Select all that apply.)
a. It affects single joints only.
b. Antibodies lead to inflammation.
c. It consists of an autoimmune process.
d. Morning stiffness is rare.
e. Permanent damage is inevitable. - ANSWER-B,C
RA is a chronic autoimmune systemic inflammatory disorder leading to arthritis-
type symptoms in the joints and other symptoms that can be seen outside the joints.
Antibodies are created that lead to inflammation. Clients often report morning
stiffness. Permanent damage can be avoided with aggressive, early treatment.
A nurse is teaching a female client with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) taking
methotrexate (MTX) (Rheumatrex) for disease control. What information does the
nurse include? (Select all that apply.)

c. Pregnancy and breast-feeding are not affected by MTX.
d. Stay away from large crowds and people who are ill.
, e. You may find that folic acid, a B vitamin, reduces side effects. - ANSWER-
A,B,D,E
MTX is a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug and is used as a first-line drug for
RA. MTX can cause liver toxicity, so the client should be advised to avoid
medications that contain acetaminophen. It may take 4 to 6 weeks for
effectiveness. MTX can cause immunosuppression, so avoiding sick people and
crowds is important. Folic acid helps reduce side effects for some people.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding are contraindicated while on this drug.
The nurse working in the rheumatology clinic assesses clients with rheumatoid
arthritis (RA) for late manifestations. Which signs/symptoms are considered late
manifestations of RA? (Select all that apply.)
a. Anorexia

c. Joint deformity

The nurse is working with clients who have connective tissue diseases. Which
disorders are correctly paired with their manifestations? (Select all that apply.)
a. Dry, scaly skin rash Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
b. Esophageal dysmotility Systemic sclerosis
