Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Older adults often have osteoarthritis, a noninflammatory progressive disorder of the moveable joints, particularly weight-bearing joints. Teaching clients to minimize stress on the joints to prevent possible injury and reduce pain is important.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Scoliosis, a lateral curvature of the spine, would most likely be assessed in a teenager. Kyphosis and osteoporosis are seen in older adults. Rickets is seen in children.
