Answer to Question 1

4
Pain is a symptom of osteoarthritis. A person with osteoporosis may not know she has osteoporosis until height and bone changes have already occurred. Kyphosis or hunchback is a symptom of osteoporosis. A person might not know that they have osteoporosis until they experience a fracture.

Answer to Question 2

3
Triage is usually performed by an RN who is experienced and can complete a rapid assessment. Triage nurses are challenged with assessing the order in which clients need to be evaluated by an emergency department doctor. The recently graduated registered nurse does not have the experience necessary to perform adequate triage. The recently graduated licensed vocational nurse and the licensed vocation nurse with 5 years experience do not have the appropriate education on client assessment to serve as a triage nurse.
