A community health nurse is providing education to help reduce musculoskeletal injuries in adults. What should the nurse include in these instructions? Select all that apply

A. Lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as "tennis elbow," is an overuse injury characterized by pain and tenderness on the outer part of the elbow (lateral epicondyle). It results from repeated stress and

strain on the forearm muscles and tendons, often due to activities involving repetitive arm motions such as tennis. The pain typically worsens with activities involving gripping, extending, or lifting.
B. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that typically affects joints symmetrically, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. It usually involves joints like the hands, wrists, and knees rather than the elbows alone. RA symptoms are generally more diffuse and persistent, rather than specifically linked to recent physical activity and localized pain associated with movement.
C. Gout is a form of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. It often presents with sudden, severe pain, redness, and swelling, typically affecting the big toe but can also affect other joints. Gout attacks usually occur at night and are often very acute and localized. It is less likely to be associated with the type of pain described (pain during extension and flexion) and recent physical activity.
D. Medial epicondylitis, also known as "golfer’s elbow," is similar to lateral epicondylitis but affects the inner part of the elbow (medial epicondyle). It is more commonly associated with activities that involve gripping and wrist flexion rather than the generalized extension and flexion pain described.

A. Concentration refers to the ability to focus on a specific task or thought for a period of time. While concentration is important for cognitive functioning, it is not the specific skill being assessed when interpreting the meaning of a proverb.
B. Attention is the ability to focus and direct mental resources towards a specific task or stimulus. While attention is necessary for understanding and processing information, the task of interpreting a proverb is more related to higher-level cognitive processes rather than just the ability to maintain focus.
C. Affect refers to the emotional state or mood of a person. It involves how emotions are expressed and experienced. Assessing affect involves observing the client’s emotional responses, not their ability to interpret abstract concepts. Therefore, affect is not the focus of this assessment.
D. Abstract reasoning is the ability to understand and interpret concepts and ideas that are not directly observable or tangible. It involves thinking beyond concrete facts to understand underlying meanings, patterns, and relationships. Interpreting a proverb, which involves understanding a figurative meaning rather than a literal one, is a test of abstract reasoning. The ability to grasp the deeper meaning behind “A penny saved is a penny earned” reflects the client's capacity for abstract reasoning.
