Children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) often experience nutrition related concerns. Growth abnormalities are common. Protein-calorie malnutrition and inadequate intake of other nutrients result from aspects of the disease process, treatment (including drug treatment), and dietary choices. Mechanical feeding difficulties can also compromise adequate intake. Because nursing assessments usually explore eating habits and family issues, the registered nurse is in a good position to identify nutrition concerns, to provide intervention recommendations, or to act as a referral source.
患有幼年类风湿性关节炎（JRA）的儿童常常面临与营养相关的问题。生长异常很常见。疾病过程、治疗（包括药物治疗）以及饮食选择等方面会导致蛋白质-热量营养不良和其他营养素摄入不足。机械性喂养困难也会影响充足的营养摄入。由于护理评估通常会探究饮食习惯和家庭问题，注册护士具备良好的条件来识别营养问题、提供干预建议或充当转诊资源。
