Question 5 of 5
A client with gouty arthritis reports tenderness and swelling of the right ankle and great toe. The nurse observes the area of inflammation extends above the ankle area. What should the nurse do?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For a client with gouty arthritis experiencing tenderness and swelling, the nurse should administer prescribed anti-inflammatory medication. Gout results from uric acid crystal deposition, causing acute inflammation and severe pain. Medications like NSAIDs or colchicine reduce inflammation and provide relief, addressing the root cause. Massaging joints could worsen pain and crystal movement, cold packs and elevation help symptomatically but aren't primary, making medication the most effective initial action per standard care.
