Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Bone pain is one of the common early manifestations of Paget's disease, and the nurse should assess the pain level to determine whether the treatment is effective. The other information will also be collected by the nurse, but will not be used in evaluating the effectiveness of the therapy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The patient can wear shoes that have a wide forefoot. The other patient statements indicate that the teaching has been effective.
