A Client with Osteoarthritis

The client with osteoarthritis is prescribed the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib 

I take aspirin daily to help prevent heart disease.  

I walk 30 minutes at least three times a week.  

The client with severe osteoarthritis of the left knee is receiving sodium hyaluronate (Hyalgan) injected directly into the left knee. Which information should be discussed with the client  

Explain that this medication will cause some bleeding into the joint.

A COX-2 inhibitor is prescribed for a client with osteoarthritis and joint stiffness therefore, the nurse would not question administering this medication.
