[Rheumatoid Arthritis] Don't get lost in practice! Assessment organized from 3 perspectives

Assessment of rheumatoid arthritis is easier to write by organizing the changes from stage to stage from three perspectives.

The point is to look at not only symptoms but also prevention of seriousness and continuation of treatment.

1) Main symptoms and severity

Confirm joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited range of motion. Evaluate CRP, red precipitation, RF, anti-CCP antibodies, and imaging findings over time.

2) Effects of complications, signs of seriousness, and treatment

Do not overlook infection signs, fall-related factors, chest symptoms, etc. Check the side effects of the drug and safety management (blood count and hepato-renal function) as a set.

3) Psychology and Society (Continuation of Treatment)

Understand anxiety and depression, the impact on work and household chores, the ease of continuing hospital visits / medication, and the support system, and lead to an executable plan.

Please save it before practice and review it when creating a record.
