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.
When the nurse has confirmed proper placement of a nasogastric tube. Action that should be taken next is : applying skin barrier to the tip and end of the nose.
<h3>What should be done after the placement of a nasogastric tube?</h3>
After the proper placement of nasogastric tube, apply skin barrier to the tip and end of the nose. After insertion of the tube, nurse should immediately inspect the oropharynx to check for kinks and to ensure that the tube is not coiled.
Chest radiography is the method for confirming appropriate placement of a nasogastric tube.
If the feeding tube is not inserted properly then radiographic confirmation of correct placement is recommended before administration of medication.
