Answer to Question 1
A, C, D
The risk for osteoporosis increases with age and is much greater for women, in part because of their decreased bone density compared with men, hormonal changes at menopause, and inadequate calcium intake. Cigarette smoking, moderate to heavy alcohol consumption, and lack of weight-bearing exercise also increase risk. A plan to reduce risk by including walking, increasing calcium in the diet, and avoiding cigarette smoking can assist in reducing risk. There is some controversy around the use and overuse of hormone supplements and this use is not necessarily recommended.
Answer to Question 2
D
Do not rely solely on the information provided by the family members during the interview process. Families usually want to put on the best face for healthcare providers, so they may be careful to give socially desirable responses. Carefully observe the words people use and other cues involved in communication, such as body language, direct eye contact, and other nonverbal expressions particularly among family members. It is important to uncover other information such as how decisions are made within the family, what means of communication are used (telephone calls, texting, visiting), and to how much participation are family committed. These are all relevant observations for the nurse to make during a meeting, but a primary focus is on careful observation of nonverbal cues.
