Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, Three-point gait. In a three-point gait, one leg is non-weight bearing, as described in the scenario where the client shifts weight onto the unaffected leg. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect.

Question 4 of 9
What is not a nursing intervention for a client with osteoporosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Avoiding muscle strengthening exercises is not recommended for clients with osteoporosis; on the contrary, weight-bearing exercises are beneficial. Choice A is correct as ensuring adequate calcium and vitamin D intake is essential for bone health. Choice B is also correct as weight-bearing exercises help improve bone density. Choice D is incorrect because avoiding repetitive movements is not a standard nursing intervention for osteoporosis.
Question 5 of 9
The client has been asked to perform weight-bearing exercises three times a week. The client admits to not doing the recommended exercises. What is the most appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The most appropriate response by the nurse is to ask the client to elaborate on their experience with the exercises. By doing so, the nurse can gain insight into any barriers the client may be facing and work together to find solutions to improve adherence. Choice A is not appropriate as it doesn't address the client's situation. Choice C is not relevant and may induce fear in the client. Choice D is directive and does not promote open communication or understanding of the client's perspective.

Question 8 of 9
Why is a client with osteoporosis prone to fractures?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Osteoporosis is characterized by porous, weak bones due to decreased bone density. This porous nature of bones in osteoporosis makes them more prone to fractures. Choice A is incorrect because bone spurs do not lead to fractures in osteoporosis; they are bony outgrowths unrelated to osteoporosis. Choice B is incorrect as osteoporosis is associated with decreased, not increased, bone density. Choice D is incorrect as individuals with osteoporosis are indeed prone to fractures due to weakened bones.
Question 9 of 9
Which nonpharmacological intervention does not help reduce edema?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Heat therapy. Heat therapy can vasodilate blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the area and potentially exacerbating edema. Passive range of motion (PROM), elevation of the extremity, and cold therapy are all beneficial interventions for reducing edema. PROM helps with circulation, elevation assists in reducing fluid accumulation, and cold therapy can help constrict blood vessels and decrease swelling.
