Question 1 of 5

A client has been experiencing muscle weakness for a period of several months. The health care provider suspects polymyositis, and the client asks the nurse about the disorder. The nurse explains to the client that which occurs in this disorder?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Polymyositis is a diffuse inflammatory disorder of skeletal (striated) muscle that is characterized by symmetrical weakness and atrophy. Increased fibrous tissue is seen in clients diagnosed with ankylosis. Thickened muscle fibers describe the opposite of what is noted with this disorder. Decreased elastic tissue, if it occurred in the aorta, would be noted in a client with Marfan's syndrome.
