The plan of care for a client with osteoporosis includes active and passive exercise calcium supplement and daily vitamins which finding would indicate that the tropic is helping.
A) Increased bone density: Regular monitoring of bone density through tests like dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans may show improvement or stabilization of bone density over time, indicating that the interventions are helping to strengthen the bones.
B) Decreased fracture risk: Reduction in the occurrence of fractures or a decrease in the severity of fractures indicates that the interventions are effectively strengthening the bones and reducing the risk of fractures associated with osteoporosis.
C) Improved mobility and strength: Active and passive exercises can help improve muscle strength and balance, reducing the risk of falls and fractures. Observing improvements in mobility and strength would indicate that the exercises are contributing to better bone health and overall well-being.
D) Normalization of blood calcium and vitamin levels: Regular blood tests can assess calcium and vitamin D levels. Finding that these levels have normalized or improved with supplementation indicates that the client's nutritional needs are being met, which is essential for bone health and overall health.
