The HCP prescribes glucosamine and chondroitin for a client diagnosed with OA. What is the scientific rationale for prescribing this medication?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Glucosamine and chondroitin support cartilage health, slowing OA progression. They have limited anti-inflammatory effects, are not potent analgesics, and do not increase synovial fluid.
