Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
For the first 5 years after menopause, women lose about 2 of their bone mass each year. Men have a slower loss of bone after the age of 75. Many treatments are now available for women to slow osteoporosis after menopause.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The first step in the nursing process is assessment. The nurse should assess coping skills and possible support systems that will be helpful in this client's treatment. Explaining that a limb salvage procedure will extend life does not address the client's psychosocial needs. Referrals may be necessary, but the nurse should assess first. Reinforcing physical therapy is also helpful but again does not address the psychosocial needs of the client.
