A child with juvenile idiopathic arthritis experiencing a painful exacerbation
Question 1 of 5
The parents of a child with juvenile idiopathic arthritis call the clinic nurse because the child is experiencing a painful exacerbation of the disease. The parents ask the nurse if the child can perform range-of-motion exercises at this time. The nurse would make which response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Have the child perform simple isometric exercises during this time. Isometric exercises help maintain muscle strength without causing joint movement, which can aggravate pain in juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Performing range-of-motion exercises during a painful exacerbation may worsen symptoms. Administering additional pain medication (
B) may provide temporary relief but does not address the underlying issue. Avoiding all exercise (
D) can lead to muscle weakness and stiffness. Performing range-of-motion exercises daily (
A) may be too excessive during a painful episode.
