The statement "OA rarely causes fatigue" is true. This means that OA, which stands for osteoarthritis, is not commonly associated with fatigue. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that primarily affects the cartilage in joints, leading to pain and stiffness. While fatigue can be a symptom of other medical conditions, it is not typically a direct result of osteoarthritis.

Explanation
The statement is true because myalgia, which refers to muscle pain, is indeed a common symptom in the inflammatory process of rheumatic diseases. Rheumatic diseases are characterized by inflammation in the joints, muscles, or connective tissues, and myalgia can be a result of this inflammation. Therefore, it is accurate to say that myalgia is a typical symptom in the inflammatory process of rheumatic disease.

Explanation
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints. It is more commonly diagnosed in individuals between the ages of 25 and 50. However, it is possible for RA to occur in children as early as infancy. This means that the statement "RA usually strikes between ages 25-50 but can occur in children as early as infancy" is true.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer

Explanation
Osteoarthritis is not typically associated with prolonged morning stiffness. Morning stiffness is more commonly seen in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. In osteoarthritis, stiffness and joint pain may occur after periods of inactivity, but it is usually of shorter duration compared to other types of arthritis.

Rate this question:
10.

RA usually affects joint on both sides of the body.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
RA, or rheumatoid arthritis, is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints. It is characterized by inflammation, pain, and stiffness in the affected joints. One distinguishing feature of RA is that it usually affects joints on both sides of the body symmetrically. This means that if a joint on one side of the body is affected, the corresponding joint on the other side is likely to be affected as well. This bilateral involvement is a common characteristic of RA and helps differentiate it from other types of arthritis. Therefore, the statement that RA usually affects joints on both sides of the body is true.
