Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Muscle biopsies are usually done using conscious sedation and a local anesthetic. The amount of tissue taken is about the size of the lead in a pencil. There is no need for bed rest for several days after the procedure. This procedure does not cause long-term pain.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
With newly diagnosed juvenile arthritis, the child and family will need to learn how to manage the symptoms by planning exercise and medication programs around school or other activities. Juvenile arthritis does not affect peripheral tissue perfusion. Because the child is newly diagnosed, it is premature to use the diagnosis of ineffective coping. There is no evidence that the child has imbalanced nutrition.
