The nurse should encourage a client experiencing inflammation to eat a diet high in carbohydrates, protein, and vitamins because:
 
  1. protein supports catabolism.
  2. vitamin K helps the blood stay thinner.
  3. carbohydrates are necessary to support extra energy needs.
  4. carbohydrates help anabolic activity.

Question 2

A client with arthritis has an ESR of 23 mm/hour with a very tight swollen right knee. The physician prescribes corticosteroids to reduce the swelling. The nurses should teach the client to:
 
  1. take the medication with plenty of water.
  2. take the medication for as long as the knee is swollen.
  3. take the medication when the knee is painful.
  4. never abruptly stop steroid medications.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

1. Protein helps with the building of tissue, which is anabolism.
2. Vitamin K assists the blood to clot appropriately.
3. The body uses more energy with healing and carbohydrates help meet energy needs.
4. Proteins support anabolic needs.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

1. Steroids are not affected by the amount of water taken.
2. Steroids are taken exactly as directed, with no deviations.
3. Taking steroids is not associated with pain.
4. Taking steroids depresses the body's adrenal glands, so the medication is tapered off to allow the client's adrenal glands to restart production of steroids.
