ATI Capstone Week 11 Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing an older adult client who has experienced some loss of bone density. The nurse observes a 'hunchback' curvature of the client's spine. The nurse should expect the provider to document which of the following disorders?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Kyphosis. Kyphosis is a condition characterized by an excessive outward curvature of the spine, leading to a 'hunchback' appearance. In older adults with loss of bone density, such as osteoporosis, kyphosis can develop due to vertebral compression fractures. Ankylosis (
A) is a condition of stiffness or fusion of joints, not related to the spine curvature seen in this case. Scoliosis (
B) is a sideways curvature of the spine, not the forward curvature seen in kyphosis. Lordosis (
C) is an inward curvature of the spine, typically in the lower back, and is not associated with a 'hunchback' appearance.
