A young adult client is concerned because the healthcare provider states that the client is demonstrating signs consistent with early onset of osteoporosis
Which health promotion activities are appropriate for this client?
A) Suggest stopping all physical activity.
B) Recommend reducing the intake of diary in the diet.
C) Instruct on increasing intake of calcium and vitamin D.
D) Discuss the use of estrogen replacement therapy.
Answer: C
Planning should be structured around self-care strategies that reduce clients' risk for developing osteoporosis and/or minimize its symptoms and effects. An appropriate goal for this client is a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. Therefore, instructing the client to increase intake of these items is appropriate. Walking and weight-bearing exercise help prevent the onset of osteoporosis; therefore, it is not appropriate to suggest that the client stop all physical activity. Dairy is rich in calcium, which is an appropriate food to consume. Reducing intake of dairy is not recommended. Due to the client's age, it is not likely that the client need estrogen replacement therapy at this time.
