Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Immobilization results in bone resorption, and the bone tissue becomes less dense. Prolonged bed rest puts the patient at risk for pathologic fracture. This is a serious concern for an older adult in terms of regaining mobility.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Bicycling or swimming is recommended for osteoarthritis of the hip or knee. Jogging would put undue stress on knee joints. Climbing stairs should be avoided. Walking should be done on level ground, not up or down elevations.
