Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A decrease in bone minerals and mass is common later in life. Bone remodeling does not, however, cease. Neither thinning disks, shortened vertebrae, nor marrow production of blood cellular components is likely to directly contribute to the client's suspected fracture.

Answer to Question 2

hip

Hip fractures or compression fractures of the spine. Changes in bone mass place older women at risk for hip fractures.
