Answer to Question 1

A
Weight-bearing exercise such as walking is useful in preventing further bone loss and in stimulating new bone formation. Clients with severe and prolonged osteoporosis may experience loss of height as vertebrae fracture.

Pediculosis is an infestation that most typically affects the head, body, or pubic area. Nursing interventions include observing both the scalp and body for evidence of infestation.
