A client with a history of chronic hyperparathyroidism admits to being noncompliant. Based on initial assessment findings, the nurse formulates the nursing diagnosis of Risk for injury. To complete the nursing diagnosis statement for this client, which "related-to" phrase should the nurse add?
- A. Related to bone demineralization resulting in pathologic fractures
- B. Related to exhaustion secondary to an accelerated metabolic rate
- C. Related to edema and dry skin secondary to fluid infiltration into the interstitial spaces
- D. Related to tetany secondary to a decreased serum calcium level
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Chronic hyperparathyroidism can lead to excessive bone demineralization due to increased levels of parathyroid hormone. This can weaken the bones and increase the risk for pathologic fractures. Therefore, the most appropriate "related-to" phrase to add to the nursing diagnosis of Risk for injury for a client with chronic hyperparathyroidism would be bone demineralization resulting in pathologic fractures. This accurately reflects the potential risk for injury associated with the client's condition.
