She had a total oophorectomy at age 45 secondary to stage I ovarian cancer. This client is currently not on any medications. Which is not a primary risk factor for osteoporosis for this client?

Answer 1

Answer: Sedentary Lifestyle

Explanation:

Osteoporosis is a medical condition that causes bones to become so  fragile such that with little activity or stress can cause the bones to fracture without having the ability to create new bones. The primary risk associated with this condition range from age, race,  body size, underlying conditions like cancer requiring treatment,  lifestyle choices(smoking, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, etc.

For 85-year-old white woman who walks 1 mile (1.6 km) every morning and every evening. and  continues to smoke but has cut back to half a pack per day with  oophorectomy at age 45 secondary to stage I ovarian cancer. Sedentary lifestyle will not be  primary risk factor for osteoporosis for her because she walks i mile every morning and evening, but other primary causes may attribute to her osteoporosis.
