Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: When a child is diagnosed with a latex allergy, it is essential for the nurse to educate both the child and the family regarding sources of latex within the home and the community. The child and family should be educated to avoid chewing gum as it contains latex. The other items do not contain latex and do not pose a risk for this child in the community.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Moist heat can promote relief of pain and decrease joint stiffness. Elevation of extremity would not have an effect on reducing pain in rheumatoid arthritis. Massage of extremities should be avoided because of a potential risk for emboli. Immobilization can lead to contractures, and range of motion to the involved joint should be maintained.
