Answer to Question 1

D
With advances in drug therapy and active participation by the patient in activities to prevent joint deformities, the patient should experience less deformity, increased comfort levels, and under-standing of the disease process. By actually discussing exercise, the nurse makes the greatest impact on the patient's quality of life. The other options are appropriate but will not have as great an impact as discussing actual exercises.

A, C, D
