Only 40 of people who have an osteoporosis-related fracture recupe-rate their pre-fall mobility status, so the most important goal for the nurse is to plan care designed to restore her baseline mobility status. This is a comprehen-sive goal encompassing nutrition, exercise, rest, and physical therapy and pre-venting postoperative complications that can plague older adults such as atelec-tasis and pneumonia, impaired skin integrity, constipation, and dehydration.
C Incorrect. Preventing infection and promoting skin integrity are integral to postoperative and rehabilitative care for an older adult.
