front 11 Maggie is a 28-year-old Caucasian woman who has newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis (RA). She complains of painful, stiff hands and feet, feeling tired all the time, and reports an intermittent low-grade fever. She asks the nurse if she is going to be "crippled." How should the nurse respond? RA is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disorder. Inflammation occurs in the joint, and the fluid that accumulates causes swelling, stiffness, impairment of joint movement, and extreme pain. RA results in the formation of bony spurs that enlarge the bone ends, restrict joint movement, and cause pain. RA arthritis is due to the accumulation of crystals in the joints that impair movement of the joint and cause extreme pain. Not all cases of RA result in fluid accumulation, swelling, stiffness, impairment of joint movement, and extreme pain.	back 11 RA is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disorder.
