    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. While listing calcium-rich foods is important for dietary management of osteoporosis, it is not the immediate priority compared to safety. B. Naming 3 home safety hazards to be resolved immediately has the highest priority because preventing falls is critical for clients with osteoporosis, as they are at increased risk for fractures. Ensuring a safe environment can significantly impact their overall health and safety. C. Stating risk factors for osteoporosis is important for awareness but does not directly address the immediate concerns regarding safety and prevention of fractures. D. Identifying treatments for constipation due to immobility is important, but addressing safety hazards related to the risk of falls takes precedence.
