Question 1 of 5
The nurse caring for a patient who has severe osteoporosis. On inspection, the patient has severe kyphosis of the upper back. Which nursing problem takes priority for this patient's care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Severe kyphosis and osteoporosis increase the risk of falls, which can lead to fractures, making fall prevention the highest priority. While important, education is not the immediate priority compared to preventing falls. Skin breakdown is a concern but is not as critical as the immediate risk of injury from falls. Limited mobility is a concern but secondary to the risk of falls.
