The client is a 73-year-old woman who fell in her home and suffered a right hip fracture. She tells the nurse that she was walking across the kitchen and felt something 'snap' in her hip and this made her fall. What type of fracture is the client most likely to have?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A 'snap' before falling suggests a pathological fracture, likely due to weakened bone (e.g., osteoporosis) in an elderly woman.
