What finding is often present in a client with osteoporosis?
- A. Chronic pain
- B. Dupuytren's contracture
- C. Inflammation
- D. Kyphosis
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Kyphosis is a common finding in osteoporosis due to vertebral compression fractures. Chronic pain (Choice A) can occur in osteoporosis but is not a specific finding. Dupuytren's contracture (Choice B) is a condition affecting hand fingers' connective tissue, not typically associated with osteoporosis. Inflammation (Choice C) is not a typical finding in osteoporosis but rather a characteristic of other conditions.
The goal for a client with impaired mobility is to prevent atelectasis. What nursing intervention would best help the client meet this goal?
- A. Assist the client to orthopneic position
- B. Offer a protein-rich diet
- C. Offer the client a bedpan for toileting
- D. Turn the client every 4 hours
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Assisting the client to the orthopneic position is the best nursing intervention to help prevent atelectasis. This position improves lung expansion by allowing the chest to expand fully, aiding in the prevention of atelectasis. Offering a protein-rich diet (choice B) is important for overall nutrition but does not directly address preventing atelectasis. Offering a bedpan for toileting (choice C) and turning the client every 4 hours (choice D) are important for preventing pressure ulcers in immobile clients but do not directly prevent atelectasis.

To promote independence, which of these is the best intervention to implement?
- A. Perform the client's activities of daily living for them.
- B. Speak directly in front of the client so they can read your lips well.
- C. Give the client their washcloth and toothbrush and leave the room.
- D. Allow the client to perform the activities of daily living they are able to do.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is to allow the client to perform the activities of daily living they are able to do. This intervention promotes independence by encouraging clients to maintain their functional abilities. Choice A is incorrect as performing the client's activities of daily living for them does not empower independence. Choice B is irrelevant to promoting independence. Choice C is not actively promoting independence as it involves leaving the client alone without any guidance or support.
