Question 1 of 5

The nurse is teaching a client with debilitating rheumatoid arthritis about home safety. Which statement should the nurse include?

A. "My grandfather always had problems with his arthritis, and he would tell me that it is better to be more stoic and not let pain interrupt your life"? B. "There are many adaptive devices such as grab bars, reaching tools, grasping devices, and adaptive silverware available that may help you."? C. "Place throw rugs throughout your home. You will enjoy how pretty they are, and you can use them to cover up power cords, so you do not trip on them."? D. "Lack of home safety may be an issue of compliance. Are you being compliant with your medication?"?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. This statement is the most appropriate because it focuses on providing practical solutions to enhance the client's safety at home while managing rheumatoid arthritis. Adaptive devices like grab bars, reaching tools, grasping devices, and adaptive silverware can help the client maintain independence and prevent accidents. Choice A is incorrect as it does not provide practical advice on home safety but rather a personal anecdote. Choice C is incorrect as throw rugs can pose a tripping hazard instead of enhancing safety. Choice D is also incorrect as it does not directly address home safety measures but rather shifts the focus to medication compliance.
