Practice Question
Which measure would the nurse include in the teaching plan for a client to reduce the risk for osteoporosis after menopause?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
participating in regular daily weight-bearing exercise
Rationale:
🔷 Weight-bearing exercise, such as walking or jogging, stimulates bone remodeling and helps maintain bone density, which decreases after menopause.
🔷 After menopause, declining estrogen levels increase the risk for osteoporosis, making bone-strengthening activities essential.
🔷 Regular physical activity also improves muscle strength and balance, reducing the risk of falls and fractures.
🔷 This is a primary, evidence-based strategy for lowering osteoporosis risk in postmenopausal clients.
Restricting fluid to 1,000 mL daily
🔷 Fluid restriction does not prevent osteoporosis and may cause dehydration.
🔷 It has no role in maintaining or improving bone health.
Eating high-fiber, high-calorie foods
🔷 High-fiber diets can reduce calcium absorption, and high-calorie intake may lead to weight gain.
🔷 This is not a recommended strategy for osteoporosis prevention.
Taking a multivitamin supplement
🔷 Multivitamins do not contain enough calcium or vitamin D to significantly reduce osteoporosis risk.
🔷 A specific calcium and vitamin D supplement, not a general multivitamin, is usually required.
