What medication class can decrease tissue inflammation but delay bone healing?

Choice A reason: Heberden's nodes are not a symptom of lupus. Heberden's nodes are bony swellings that form on the distal interphalangeal joints of the fingers. They are a sign of osteoarthritis, which is a degenerative joint disease that causes pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Choice B reason: Chvostek's sign is not a symptom of lupus. Chvostek's sign is a facial twitch that occurs when the facial nerve is tapped near the ear. It is a sign of hypocalcemia, which is a low level of calcium in the blood. Hypocalcemia may be caused by various conditions, such as hypoparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, or renal failure.

Choice C reason: OsgoodSchlatter's disease is not a symptom of lupus. OsgoodSchlatter's disease is a condition that affects the growth plate of the tibia, which is the shin bone. It causes pain, swelling, and tenderness below the knee. It is common in adolescents who are active in sports that involve running, jumping, or bending the knee.

Choice D reason: Butterfly rash is a classic symptom of lupus. Butterfly rash is a malar rash that appears across the cheeks and the bridge of the nose. It is a common sign of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and damage to various organs and tissues. The rash may flare up or fade depending on the disease activity and exposure to sunlight.

Choice A reason: Properly disposing of contaminated equipment is an important infectioncontrol measure, but it is not the most effective way to prevent the spread of pathogens during client care. Contaminated equipment, such as gloves, gowns, masks, or needles, should be disposed of in designated containers or bags to prevent exposure or injury to others. However, this measure does not eliminate the risk of transmission of pathogens from the hands of the health care worker to the client or the environment.

Choice B reason: Discarding used syringes into appropriate containers is an important infectioncontrol measure, but it is not the most effective way to prevent the spread of pathogens during client care. Used syringes, especially those that contain blood or body fluids, should be discarded into punctureresistant, leakproof, and labeled containers to prevent needlestick injuries or exposure to others. However, this measure does not eliminate the risk of transmission of pathogens from the hands of the health care worker to the client or the environment.

Choice C reason: Changing soiled linens is an important infectioncontrol measure, but it is not the most effective way to prevent the spread of pathogens during client care. Soiled linens, especially those that contain blood or body fluids, should be changed and handled with gloves and minimal agitation to prevent contamination or aerosolization of pathogens. However, this measure does not eliminate the risk of transmission of pathogens from the hands of the health care worker to the client or the environment.

Choice D reason: Performing hand hygiene is the most effective way to prevent the spread of pathogens during client care, because it reduces the number of microorganisms on the hands of the health care worker, which are the most common source and mode of transmission of infection. Hand hygiene should be performed before and after contact with the client, after contact with potentially infectious materials, after removing gloves, and before and after performing invasive procedures. Hand hygiene can be performed by washing with soap and water or using alcoholbased hand rubs.
