Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Osteoporosis risk factors increase after menopause. Preventative activities include implementing weight-bearing exercise and beginning calcium supplements. It is not too late to begin prevention activities. Without additional information, it is not possible to determine if the client is a candidate for hormone replacement therapy. Generally, hormone replacement therapy is limited to those women who are experiencing vasomotor manifestations. The client in the scenario has two risk factors presented. Although a full analysis would be beneficial, it does not answer the client's request for information.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Planning should be structured around self-care strategies that reduce clients' risk for developing osteoporosis and/or minimize its symptoms and effects. An appropriate goal for this client is a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. Therefore, instructing the client to increase intake of these items is appropriate. Walking and weight-bearing exercise help prevent the onset of osteoporosis; therefore, it is not appropriate to suggest that the client stop all physical activity. Dairy is rich in calcium, which is an appropriate food to consume. Reducing intake of dairy is not recommended. Due to the client's age, it is not likely that the client need estrogen replacement therapy at this time.
