    Which nursing responsibility is related to health promotion and teaching for the client with rheumatoid arthritis?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Heat and cold therapy can help manage symptoms but are not directly related to health promotion and teaching. Choice B reason: Avoiding foods containing purine is more related to conditions like gout, not rheumatoid arthritis. Choice C reason: Immobilization of affected joints is not a health promotion strategy and can actually worsen rheumatoid arthritis symptoms over time. Choice D reason: Prevention through nutrition and exercise is a key component of health promotion and teaching for clients with rheumatoid arthritis, as it can help manage symptoms and improve overall health.
