A client who is experiencing an exacerbation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is about to be
discharged after a week's stay in the hospital. The client tells the nurse, "I can't believe
how much better I am feeling now." The nurse is aware that the client's feeling is
based on which of the following?
A) The client appreciating the various levels of care given
B) Scheduling client care by all disciplines that allowed the client to rest
C) Keeping the client busy each day
D) The client's disease process having been stopped - CORRECT ANSWER-B) When
coordinating care for clients, the nurse should consider the client's ability to tolerate
activity and provide blocks of time for rest. Keeping the client busy would work against
the client's best interests and not produce the desired results for overall healing. RA is
a chronic disease from which the client will not recover. Although the client may
appreciate the various levels of care, that appreciation would not account for how
much better the client is feeling after the hospital stay.
