"I should avoid long periods of rest because it causes joint stiffness." 4. "I should do some exercises, such as walking, when I am not fatigued." 1. "I should take hot baths because they are relaxing." To help reduce fatigue in the client with systemic lupus erythematosus, the nurse should instruct the client to sit whenever possible, avoid hot baths (because they exacerbate fatigue), schedule moderate low -impact exercises when not fatigued, and maintain a balanced diet. The client is instructed to avoid long periods of rest because it promotes joint stiffness.

Positive punch biopsy of the cutaneous lesions 4. Appearance of reddish -blue lesions noted on the skin 3. Positive punch biopsy of the cutaneous lesions Kaposi's sarcoma lesions begin as red, dark blue, or purple macules on the lower legs that change into plaques.

They can move to the lymphatic system, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract. Late disease results in swel ling and pain in the lower extremities, penis, scrotum, or face. Diagnosis is made by punch biopsy of cutaneous lesions and biopsy of pulmonary and gastrointestinal lesions.
