Answer to Question 1

1. I have delegated household chores to other family members..

Rationale:
One technique for reducing stress on the joints is to delegate household tasks to family members. The client does not need to refrain from all household chores. Sleeping for nine hours at night will not alleviate the need for frequent rest periods during the day. Increased joint pain would indicate that goals have not been met.

Answer to Question 2

3. Swimming

Rationale:
Swimming exercises all the extremities without putting undue stress on joints. Softball, football, or basketball could exacerbate joint discomfort.
