Question 4 of 5
Which problems should the nurse counsel adoptive parents about encountering? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,C,D,F
Rationale: Adoptive parents may add pressure to themselves by setting unrealistically high standards for themselves. Additional problems adoptive families may face include possible lack of knowledge about the child's biological health history, difficulty assimilating if the child is adopted from another country, difficulty deciding when and how to tell the child about being adopted, and dealing with social and traditional issues of the biological family. Otherwise, most problems faced by adoptive parents are no different from those encountered by natural parents. All parents want to be good parents. Both adoptive parents and biological parents need information, support, and guidance to prepare them to care for their child.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is working at an osteoporosis screening clinic and is interviewing and performing health assessments on women. Which clients are at greatest risk for developing osteoporosis? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,C,D,F
Rationale: Risk factors for osteoporosis include being of Asian or Caucasian descent, early menopause, a family history of osteoporosis, and inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D. Large-boned, dark-skinned women (e.g., those of African descent) have a lower risk due to higher bone density. A physically active lifestyle is protective against osteoporosis, reducing the risk.
