Paget’s Disease
Paget’s Disease ( 45 Questions)
A client with Paget's disease presents with bone pain. What other clinical manifestation should the nurse expect to find during the assessment?
Muscle weakness: While bone pain can lead to discomfort and reduced mobility, muscle weakness is not a specific clinical manifestation of Paget's disease.
Hypercalcemia: Hypercalcemia (elevated blood calcium levels) is not typically associated with Paget's disease. Instead, the condition is characterized by disorganized bone remodeling.
Joint swelling: Joint swelling is not a primary clinical manifestation of Paget's disease. Bone deformities are more characteristic of the condition.
Bone pain is a common clinical manifestation of Paget's disease, but another hallmark of the condition is the development of bone deformities. The abnormal bone remodeling in Paget's disease can lead to enlarged, misshapen bones, particularly in weight-bearing areas such as the skull, pelvis, and long bones.
