    Hesi RN exit proctored exam

    The nurse is preparing a teaching plan for an older adult client diagnosed with osteoporosis. Which expected outcome has the highest priority for this client?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Names 3 home safety hazards to be resolved immediately: This addresses fall prevention, which is the most immediate and critical concern in osteoporosis due to the high risk of fractures from minimal trauma. B. States 4 risk factors for the development of osteoporosis: While understanding risk factors is important for prevention, it is less urgent than addressing environmental hazards that could lead to injury. C. Identifies 2 treatments for constipation due to immobility: Managing constipation is relevant for immobility but not a top priority compared to fall and fracture risk. D. Lists 5 calcium-rich foods to be added to the daily diet: Dietary calcium supports long-term bone health but does not immediately reduce the risk of injury like eliminating hazards does.
