Osteoarthritis information regarding therapeutic diets and exercise for the patient

An established patient with a history of osteoarthritis is undergoing on-going therapy, which

includes drug therapy and a gentle exercise regimen. The patient is discouraged because of
increased pain and loss of mobility. The physician instructs you to provide printed information
regarding therapeutic diets and exercise for the patient. Additionally, you are to review intended
effects of the prescribed drug therapy. How do you handle this patient-teaching opportunity?

I would gather all of the printed information on diets and exercise for Osteoarthritis such as
Pamphlets and brochures on diets and exercise for Osteoarthritis, as well as the medications. I
would make sure the patient would know how many times a day to take the medicines and how
much to take at one time and give them printed out instructions to back up and remind them how
to take their medicines diets and an exercise sheet . I would go over all of the information and
answer any questions the patients might have. I would explain that the medicine was to help
relieve the pain, swelling and other discomforts due to osteoarthritis since there is not any cure. I
would also discuss with the patient, about dieting and explain that diet is a good way of taking
some of the weight of the hips and knee joints and may relieve some of the pain caused by access
pressure from the weight and exercise is a way of keeping the joints moving. I would go over
some exercises that I would give her as well as diet plans one last time.

I would collect any printed information such as brochures and pamphlets on the treatment and
therapy of Lyme disease. Then I would go over this information with them answering any
questions they may have such as antibiotics, and making sure he understands to take all of the
medicine. I would reassure him that it is curable as long as he follows the directions of the
physician and was caught in the early stages.

can done to lessen the pain of gout, explaining this is intended as reminder on the things that will
help relieve pain such as bed rest, ice packs. The medicine that maybe prescribed such as anti-
