Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing a presentation at a senior center about age-related musculoskeletal changes. Which of the following changes should the nurse plan to include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Decreased muscle mass. With aging, there is a natural decline in muscle mass known as sarcopenia. This is due to factors such as decreased physical activity and hormonal changes. The nurse should include this change in the presentation as it is a common age-related musculoskeletal change that can lead to weakness and functional decline in older adults. Reduced chest width (
B) and thickened vertebral disks (
C) are not typical age-related musculoskeletal changes. Increased force of isometric contraction (
D) is not a common change associated with aging.
