Tender and warm joints: These are more typical of inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Nodules on the skin: Nodules are common in rheumatoid arthritis, not osteoarthritis. Pain and stiffness of joints: Osteoarthritis is characterized by joint pain and stiffness, especially after inactivity or overuse.

Question 5 of 5
A client with systemic lupus erythematosis has a history of tuberculosis exposure that has been treated. Which medication should the nurse question as possible cause for the lupus symptoms?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Isoniazid, a medication used to treat tuberculosis, can trigger or worsen systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) symptoms in some individuals. This is a known side effect, and the nurse should question its use in a client with a history of lupus. Furosemide is a diuretic that can cause electrolyte imbalances but is not typically associated with triggering lupus symptoms. Warfarin is an anticoagulant, and while it interacts with many drugs, it is not specifically associated with exacerbating lupus symptoms. Levofloxacin is an antibiotic and is generally safe for individuals with lupus unless there are specific contraindications, but it is not known to trigger lupus flare-ups.
