A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a parent and their school-age child who has juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). What should the nurse include in the discharge instructions to the family?

A. If NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are ineffective in managing symptoms of JIA, the healthcare provider needs to be notified as other treatments, such as disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or biologics, may be necessary. B. Warm compresses, rather than cool compresses, are typically recommended to relieve joint pain and stiffness in JIA. C. While rest is important, excessive napping can lead to stiffness and decreased mobility. Regular, gentle activity is encouraged to maintain joint function. D. High-impact exercises like running may be too strenuous for children with JIA and can exacerbate joint pain. Low-impact activities such as swimming or cycling are generally recommended to promote range of motion without putting undue stress on the joints.
