Paget’s Disease ( 45 Questions)
The nurse is instructing a client with Paget's disease about self-care measures to manage bone pain. Which self-care measure should the nurse recommend?
Applying cold compresses to affected areas: Applying cold compresses may provide some temporary relief for pain, but they do not address the underlying bone remodeling abnormalities in Paget's disease.
Limiting physical activity to reduce pain: While excessive physical activity may need to be moderated to prevent fractures, limiting all physical activity is not advisable for patients with Paget's disease. Gentle exercises can support bone health and overall well-being.
Taking hot baths to relieve discomfort: Hot baths may provide temporary relief for muscle discomfort, but they do not directly address bone pain associated with Paget's disease.
Engaging in gentle stretching exercises can help relieve bone pain and improve joint flexibility for individuals with Paget's disease. These exercises promote joint mobility and may help alleviate discomfort associated with bone deformities.
