Answer to Question 1

C
Degenerative joint disease (DJD), or osteoarthritis, is the most common type of arthritis and results from progressive destruction of joints by wear and tear. The weight-bearing joints of the lower extremities, the hand, and cervical and lumbar vertebrae are most often involved.

Answer to Question 2

C
Weight-bearing exercise such as walking is useful in preventing further bone loss and in stimulating new bone formation. Nursing care focuses on encouraging clients to maintain good posture and physical activity, to avoid injury, to take medications as prescribed, and to eat foods high in calcium and vitamin D.
