ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Practice Question
The nurse arranges for a dance movement therapist to lead a group session for clients with osteoarthritis. Which statement best describes the rationale for this intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Engaging in dance therapy promotes the release of endorphins, which are natural pain relievers, helping clients manage pain effectively. This physiological response can enhance mood and overall well-being, making it particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic conditions like osteoarthritis.
Option A, while highlighting the social benefits of dance, does not address the therapeutic effects on pain management. Option B inaccurately suggests a direct physiological benefit of dance on synovial fluid, which is not supported by evidence. Option C, although partially true, lacks the broader context of endorphin release and overall pain management strategies provided by dance therapy.
