Answer: This is TRUE for me. Osteoporosis is a preventable disease.
Explanation:
In this condition, bone density ( the amount of bone tissue) is reduced because it's deposition does not keep pace with resorption. Although the bone is adequately mineralised, it is fragile and microscopically abnormal, with loss of internal structure.
Peak bone mass occurs around 35 years and then gradually declines in both sexes. Lowered oestrogen levels after the menopause are associated with a period of accelerated bone loss in women. Thereafter bone density in women is less than in men for any given age. That is why in North America, one-third of all women experience fractures because of this disease, amounting to about 2 million bone fractures per year.
Common features of osteoporosis are:
--> skeletal deformity: gradual loss of height with age, caused by compression of vertebrae.
--> bone pain
--> fractures: especially of the hip ( neck of femur), wrist and vertebrae.
It is TRUE for me that some risk factors can't be changed ( which is the low oestrogen levels that occur after menopause in women) but others, such as poor calcium intake, can.
Exercise and Calcium intake during childhood and adolescence are important in determining eventual bone mass of an individual and in preventing risk of osteoporosis in later life.

The nurse document in the client's chart that it is a secondary homelessness.
Homelessness is officially defined by the US government, according to the Oxford Encyclopedia of Social Work. It is defined as "when a person sleeps in emergency accommodation, whether temporary accommodation or not, without permanent, regular and suitable accommodation for the night." Use the following resources to learn more about homelessness and the political, legal, and social issues it poses.
Secondary homelessness is being forced to move from one shelter to another. For example, switching between shelters and shelters. This includes "sofa his surfing" wherein someone "breaks down" at a pal or relative's house.
