A client is surprised to learn that she has been diagnosed with osteoporosis since she does not smoke, is not underweight, and exercises. The nurse should assess if the client has any secondary conditions which could cause the disorder, including:
 
  1. diabetes mellitus.
  2. heart failure.
  3. fibromyalgia.
  4. lactose intolerance.

  1. 24 hours.
  2. 48 hours.
  3. 96 hours.
  4. 1 week.

Answer to Question 1

4
Mild malabsorption syndrome as seen with lactose intolerance is a contributing factor to secondary osteoporosis. Secondary osteoporosis is not associated with diabetes mellitus, heart failure, or fibromyalgia.

Answer to Question 2

3
The plan must incorporate strategies to care for a large influx of clients for up to 96 hours because it may be this long before assistance from the government can arrive. The other choices are incorrect lengths of time for the organization to prepare for supplies.
