Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Weight-bearing activity reduces bone mineral loss and promotes bone uptake of calcium, contributing to maintenance of bone density and reducing the risk for bone fracture. Although increasing calcium in the diet is a good intervention, this alone will not reduce the client's susceptibility to bone fracture. A foot support and pressure-relieving devices will not help prevent fracture, but may help with mobility and skin integrity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Active range of motion is a part of a restorative nursing program. Active range of motion will promote strength, range of motion, and independence with activities of daily living.
