Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
Common diagnostic tests for MD include creatinine kinase, electromyelogram, and muscle biopsy. Blood urea nitrogen and ultrasound are not used.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
The nurse should teach that activity can be resumed when symptoms (pain) are gone. Icing the knee after activity is beneficial, as is wearing an elastic wrap or neoprene sleeve over the knee. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen are best for pain management. Bedrest and surgery are usually not required.
