Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing a client with osteoarthritis (OA) of the elbows and fingers. Which of the following clinical manifestations should the nurse expect to find?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Heberden and Bouchard nodes are characteristic of osteoarthritis. Swan neck and boutonniere deformities are associated with rheumatoid arthritis, and joint swelling is less common in OA.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has been recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Which assessment finding does the nurse expect to assess?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Symmetrical joint pain is a hallmark of RA, affecting the same joints on both sides of the body. Rest does not typically relieve RA pain, unlike osteoarthritis. Bouchard's nodes are associated with osteoarthritis, and RA pain is not unilateral or limited to weight-bearing joints.

Correct Answer: A
