Question 1 of 5
The nurse is teaching a client with debilitating rheumatoid arthritis about home safety. Which statement should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. This statement is the most appropriate because it focuses on providing practical solutions to enhance the client's safety at home while managing rheumatoid arthritis. Adaptive devices like grab bars, reaching tools, grasping devices, and adaptive silverware can help the client maintain independence and prevent accidents. Choice A is incorrect as it does not provide practical advice on home safety but rather a personal anecdote. Choice C is incorrect as throw rugs can pose a tripping hazard instead of enhancing safety. Choice D is also incorrect as it does not directly address home safety measures but rather shifts the focus to medication compliance.

Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with rheumatoid arthritis one day after shoulder surgery. What would prompt the nurse to call the provider immediately?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In a client with rheumatoid arthritis one day after shoulder surgery, paresthesia in the fingers and intense increasing pain in the shoulder could indicate nerve compression or damage, which are serious post-operative complications. This situation requires immediate attention from the provider to prevent further complications and ensure appropriate management. The other options, such as refusing pain medication, reporting a minor headache, or experiencing minor abdominal discomfort, are important but not as urgent or indicative of potential serious complications as paresthesia in the fingers and intense increasing pain in the shoulder.
