1. The nurse is caring for 4 clients. What client should the nurse see first?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is the client on Methotrexate with a fever. Fever in a client on Methotrexate, an immunosuppressant, could indicate a serious infection or adverse drug reaction requiring immediate attention to prevent complications. The other choices do not present immediate life-threatening concerns. A client with lupus asking for dinner can wait, a client with chronic rheumatic pain may need pain management but is not the priority over a fever in a client on Methotrexate, and a client with children visiting does not pose an urgent medical issue.

2. Which of the following nonpharmacological methods cannot be used to manage the chronic pain of a client with rheumatoid arthritis?

Correct answer: D

Rationale:

3. What finding is often present in a client with osteoporosis?

Dupuytren’s contracture (Choice B) is a condition affecting hand fingers' connective tissue, not typically associated with osteoporosis. Inflammation (Choice C) is not a typical finding in osteoporosis but rather a characteristic of other conditions.
