Answer to Question 1

C
RA can affect body systems other than joints; this statement is true. Women are affected more often than men. RA strikes the same parts of the body on both sides and affects joints in a sym-metrical pattern. Patients with RA can have remissions and exacerbations. Unlike OA, however, RA has a highly variable course, which may include remissions, as well as exacerbations. RA can affect body systems other than joints and can cause general fatigue and malaise and attack systems other than joints. Glucosamine can be helpful for patients in the first 2 years of RA. Conventional therapy for RA includes a complex regimen of medications. Glucosamine has not been proven to offer significant relief from RA.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. This medication is used without concomitant bisphosphonate therapy.
B Incorrect. This medication is administered daily by subcutaneous injection.
C Correct. The nurse instructs the individual to take teriparatide by daily injection for up to 2 years to prevent adverse effects of this human recombinant form of parathyroid hormone.
D Incorrect. The nurse instructs the patient to consume 1200 mg of calcium daily.
