Question 1 of 5

A client states that she is to have a test to measure bone mass to help diagnose osteoporosis. The nurse would most likely plan to prepare the client for:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Currently, no method exists for directly measuring bone mass. Instead, a bone mass density (BMD) measurement is used. BMD is a two-dimensional measurement of the average content of mineral in a section of bone. The client most likely will be having a DEXA scan, which is a screening test that calculates the mineral content of the bone at the spine and hip. Ultrasound, MRI, and a pelvic X-ray would be of little help in determining bone mass.

Question 4 of 5

A woman has chosen the calendar method of conception control. Which is the most important action the nurse should perform during the assessment process in preparation to discuss the implementation of this method?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The calendar method relies on accurately recorded menstrual cycle lengths to determine the fertile period; therefore, obtaining a history of the woman's menstrual cycles is essential. Weight gain or loss, integumentary changes, and previous experiences, while potentially relevant, are not as critical for implementing this method.
