Question 1 of 5
Which of the following clients has a modifiable risk factor for osteoporosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Juanita, who smokes two packs of cigarettes a day. Smoking is a modifiable risk factor for osteoporosis because it can lead to decreased bone density and increased risk of fractures. Smoking affects the body's ability to absorb calcium, a key mineral for bone health. Regular exercise, like in choice A, actually helps improve bone density and reduces the risk of osteoporosis. Family history of osteoporosis, as in choice B, is a non-modifiable risk factor. Being postmenopausal at age 40, as in choice D, is also non-modifiable and may increase the risk of osteoporosis due to hormonal changes.
