    Which intervention is best for the nurse to implement for a client who is experiencing severe toe pain as the result of acute gout?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Antiembolism stockings do not address pain or inflammation related to gout. B. Placing a foot cradle keeps the linen off the painful toe, reducing pressure and irritation, which helps alleviate severe pain during acute gout attacks. C. Passive range of motion may increase pain and inflammation during an acute gout flare and is not recommended. D. Minimizing calcium intake is not relevant to gout management; gout is related to uric acid metabolism, not calcium.
