Answer to Question 1

A
A diet with adequate fiber is the cornerstone of treatment, and 25 g per day is recommended. Unless the patient has a documented gluten or lactose malabsorption, avoiding these substances is not recommended. Water intake should be six to eight glasses per day. Regular walking is usually the best exercise.

Answer to Question 2

A
Naproxen is the first medication given for an attack of acute gouty arthritis to stop the inflammatory response. Pharmacologic treatment for hyperuricemia must be started after the acute attack has subsided.
