Abstract

Abstract: Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory arthritis condition. If left untreated, patients with psoriatic arthritis may suffer pain, reduced quality of life, joint damage, and disability. Understanding clinical presentation and comorbidities of the disease, as well as current guidelines for treatment, allows the nurse practitioner to provide comprehensive care for patients.
