Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis ( 15 Questions)
Select all the modifiable risk factors that the nurse should address during the assessment.
"Age." Age is a non-modifiable risk factor for osteoporosis. While age does influence the risk, it cannot be addressed or modified through interventions.
"Family history." Family history is also a non-modifiable risk factor for osteoporosis. It is influenced by genetic factors and cannot be changed through assessments or interventions.
"Smoking." Smoking is a modifiable risk factor for osteoporosis. Smoking can weaken bones and increase the risk of fractures. Addressing and supporting smoking cessation is an essential part of osteoporosis prevention and management.
"Sedentary lifestyle." A sedentary lifestyle is a modifiable risk factor for osteoporosis. Lack of physical activity can contribute to bone loss and muscle weakness. Encouraging physical activity and a more active lifestyle can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
"Gender." Gender is a non-modifiable risk factor for osteoporosis. Women are at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis than men due to hormonal factors, but this risk cannot be altered through assessments or interventions.
