Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The 2020 National Health Goals focus on proper exercise to maintain a healthy musculoskeletal system. The nurse can help the nation achieve these goals by educating community members on the importance of physical activity. Diagnosis of painful joints, hours of sleep, and dietary intake are not identified as actions to ensure a healthy musculoskeletal system.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Heat reduces pain and inflammation in joints and increases comfort and motion. Heat can be applied by the use of a heating pad or warm water soaks for 20 to 30 minutes. Bed rest will not help reduce the pain. Isotonic exercises will not reduce the pain and could make the pain worse. Aspirin taken on an empty stomach could lead to gastric irritation. The dose of 325 mg may also be too high for the child.
