This statement requires further discussion. B. Taking an antacid for indigestion is common with NSAID use like naproxen and can be a reasonable strategy to reduce GI side effects. C. Swimming is an excellent low-impact exercise for clients with rheumatoid arthritis and supports joint mobility. D. A 2-pound weight loss over 2 weeks is generally not concerning unless unintended or associated with other symptoms.
