The nurse practitioner is following a child with juvemile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) who has
been previously diagnosed and is being managed for the disease by a pediatric
rheumatologist. The mother asks for information about the child's long-term prognosis. The
appropriate reply is that:
most children with JRA achieve complete remission by adulthood, but its effects
might cause lifelong limitations.
Although the active disease does not continue into adulthood, the contractures,
growth retardation, bone deformities, and visual impairment associated with JRA
, may lead to lifelong functional impairments. A comprehensive treatment program
involving physical therapy, occupational therapy, nutrition, education, and regular
opthalmologic care can limit residual functional limitations.
