Osteoporosis is a term that describes the loss of calcium from bones resulting in bones that are thin. Since parathyroid hormone (PTH) removes calcium from bones (that is what it does), all patients with a parathyroid problem will eventually develop thin bones. Bones with osteoporosis due to parathyroid problems can ache and hurt because the PTH is actively destroying the bone. Bones with osteoporosis are fragile bones which are much more susceptible to fractures and breaks.

The nurse should ensure that the Naloxone should be readily available.

<h3>What is Naloxone?</h3>

It is frequently used to combat breathing problems brought on by opiate overdose. It is also possible to combine naloxone with an opioid (in the same pill) to reduce the chance of injection usage. When administered intravenously, effects start to take effect after two minutes, and after five minutes if an injection is placed into a muscle. The medication can also be sprayed directly into the nostrils of the patient. For 30 to 90 minutes, naloxone often prevents the effects of opioids. Some opioids have longer half-lives than naloxone, thus multiple doses can be necessary.

When administered to opioid-dependent people, withdrawal symptoms from opioids, such as restlessness, agitation, nausea, vomiting, a rapid heartbeat, and sweating, may occur.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide.

People who smoke have the greatest risk of lung cancer, though lung cancer can also occur in people who have never smoked. The risk of lung cancer increases with the length of time and number of cigarettes you've smoked. If you quit smoking, even after smoking for many years, you can significantly reduce your chances of developing lung cancer
