Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
There is an increasing incidence of osteoporosis in female athletes as a result of intense dieting. Exercise is beneficial in the prevention of osteoporosis. It does not increase the likelihood of osteoporosis. The patient is seeking information. She is not requiring an assessment at this time.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5
The nurse should teach the patient to wrap the stump appropriately in preparation for fitting the prosthesis; discuss household modifications to promote independence, such as grab bars in the bathroom; teach the patient how to perform stump exercises to maintain joint mobility and muscle tone in the affected limb; and encourage the patient to resume physical activities as soon as possible, which will improve the patient's health, well being, and self-esteem. Elevating the stump on pillows can cause contractures, which will interfere with the ability to effectively use a prosthesis.
