The nurse is providing teaching to a young adult who is at risk for early-onset osteoporosis. Which intervention should the nurse suggest?

The client should participate in physical activity such as swimming.

The client should limit carbonated beverages.

The client should start taking hormonal replacement therapy.

The client should decrease intake of dairy in the diet.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. While physical activity is important, swimming is not a weight-bearing exercise and therefore does not provide the bone-strengthening benefits necessary to reduce osteoporosis risk. Activities such as walking, jogging, or resistance training are more effective.
B. Carbonated beverages, especially colas, are associated with decreased bone density because they may contain phosphoric acid and can displace calcium-rich beverages like milk in the diet. Limiting these drinks helps reduce osteoporosis risk.
C. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is not recommended as a preventive measure for young adults due to potential risks and side effects. It is generally considered only for postmenopausal women when indicated.
D. Dairy products are high in calcium and vitamin D, which are essential for bone health. Decreasing intake would increase the risk of osteoporosis rather than prevent it.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Individuals with a small body frame and those of female biologic sex are at higher risk for osteoporosis. Women are particularly vulnerable after menopause due to decreased estrogen, which accelerates bone loss.

B. Prolonged use of corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone), not ibuprofen, is a significant risk factor for osteoporosis. NSAIDs like ibuprofen do not typically contribute to bone density loss.

C. Male sex is generally protective compared to female sex, and diabetes is not considered a primary risk factor. While nutrition does play a role, high protein intake does not directly cause osteoporosis; instead, low calcium and vitamin D intake are more concerning.

D. Low estrogen levels (not elevated) contribute to osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women. Increased body mass can actually provide some protective effect on bone density due to higher weight-bearing stress on bones.

A. Nocturia B. Urinary dribbling C. Urinary frequency D. Elevated temperature E. Weak stream

Correct Answer is ["A","B","C","E"]

Explanation

A. Nocturia (frequent urination at night) is a common symptom of BPH due to incomplete bladder emptying.

B. Urinary dribbling can occur as the enlarged prostate obstructs urine flow.

C. Urinary frequency results from decreased bladder capacity and incomplete emptying caused by the obstruction.

D. Elevated temperature is not a typical sign of BPH; it may indicate infection such as a urinary tract infection, not BPH itself.

E. Weak urinary stream occurs due to obstruction of the urethra by the enlarged prostate.
