Given what we know about rheumatoid arthritis, we can confirm that the nurse can determine that the teaching is effective when the client makes the statement that "<em>Rheumatoid arthri</em><em>tis includes </em><em>joint involvement </em><em>that is usually </em><em>symmetric </em><em>and </em><em>polyarticular</em>".
Arthritis is one of many diseases in the autoimmune category. An autoimmune disease is one in which the immune system of the patient attacks its own cells. <em><u>The reasons behind this remain unknown</u></em>. In the case of Rheumatoid arthritis, the attacks remain isolated to the joints. The immune system causes the joints to be unable to produce synovial liquid, which causes inflamation.
As stated by the patient, Rheumatoid arthritis includes joint involvement that is usually symmetric and polyarticular. What this means is that any diarthrodial joint can be affected by the condition and is usually collateral, meaning that <u>if the left hand is affected, the right hand often is as well.</u>

Answer:
The best answer from the choices, to the question: The cause of the hyperventilation is described by which of the following statement:___, would be, B: A decrease in the bicarbonate concentration stimulates ventilation.
Explanation:
The acid-base balance in the human body, is a very restrictive one. Normal ranges in this base are: 7.35 to 7.45. Whenever the values go either below 7.35 or above 7.45, we are talking about a person going into acidosis or alkalosis. Both situations are pretty serious and they have to do with the balance between the amounts of bicarbonate, and CO2 in the form of carbonic acid, in the blood. The normal ratio of bicarbonate to carbonic acid, is usually 20:1. Chemoreceptors, especially central ones in the neck, measure constantly that the balance is kept and if this is not the case, then several mechanisms will be put into place to recover it. One such measure is respiratory, and the other is metabolic. In the case of this 17-year-old, he has a pneumonia, which means that from the start, one of his recovery mechanisms is impeded, which is the respiratory mechanism of balance. He is also having metabolic problems with his system of compensation because his body is already producing high levels of H+ ions and not enough bicarbonate. Hyperventilation in this person is attempting to expel as much CO2 as possible, to try and restore the balance. The first thing that is sensed by the receptors is the changing in the 20:1 ratio, the increase in pH due to too much carbonic acid, and thus the body initiates the use of CO2 expulsion by the lungs, while metabolic mechanisms come into play.
Answer:
A. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is Rose’s diagnosis
Explanation:
In Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis the thyroid gland of an individual fails to produce sufficient thyroid hormones. It is a type of hypothyroidism where the thyroid gland faces inflammation and couldn’t produce enough hormones. Thus the damage in the thyroid gland lowers the level of this hormone in the body.
Symptoms of Hashimoto’s disease include – weakness cold sensitivity, weight gaining, depression etc. An increased amount of anti-thyroid antibody can be a sign of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. The more the antibodies the more you are prone to any thyroid diseases
