A school-age child who has juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a parent and his school-age child who has juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer prednisone on an alternate-day schedule. This is the correct instruction because prednisone is a common medication used to manage inflammation and pain in juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Administering it on an alternate-day schedule helps to minimize side effects while still providing effective treatment.
Summary of other choices:
B: Applying cool compresses may provide temporary relief but does not address the underlying arthritis.
C: Encouraging a nap does not directly impact arthritis treatment.
D: Allowing the child to stay home on painful days does not address the need for proper medication management.
Overall, choice A is the most appropriate instruction for managing juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
