Question 1 of 5

A nurse is discussing gout with a patient who is concerned about developing the disorder. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as risk factors for this disease? Select all that applies.

A. Depression B. Deep sleep deprivation C. Cardiovascular disease D. Diuretic use

Correct Answer: C,D

Rationale: Cardiovascular disease increases gout risk due to associated conditions like hypertension and kidney disease, which elevate uric acid levels. Diuretic use, especially thiazides, reduces uric acid excretion, leading to hyperuricemia. Depression and sleep deprivation lack consistent evidence as direct risk factors for gout.
