Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Encourage patients at risk to be screened for osteoporosis and assess their diets for calcium and vitamin D intake. Patients who have lactose intolerance need dietary teaching about alternative sources of calcium. Caffeine should be decreased. The goal of the patient with osteoporosis is to maintain independence with ADLs. Assistive ambulatory devices, adaptive clothing, and safety bars help the patient maintain independence.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The diagnosis related to pain requires the nurse to assist the patient with comfort measures so that the patient is then willing and more able to move. Pain must be controlled so the patient will not be reluctant to initiate movement. The diagnosis related to reluctance to initiate movement requires interventions aimed at keeping the patient as mobile as possible and encouraging the patient to perform self-care and ROM.
