A nurse is caring for a client who has a new diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and asks where this disease originates within the body. The nurse should tell the client that SLE originates in which of the following locations in the body?
Connective tissue.
Peripheral vascular system.
Lymphatic system.
Skeletal tissue.
The Correct Answer is A
Choice A rationale
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects connective tissue. The immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue, leading to inflammation and damage.
Choice B rationale
SLE does not originate in the peripheral vascular system, although it can cause complications in blood vessels.
Choice C rationale
While the lymphatic system is involved in immune responses, SLE primarily targets connective tissue.
Choice D rationale
SLE does not originate in skeletal tissue, though it can cause joint pain and arthritis.
