Reference no: EM133720078

Question

A female client with a history of frequent exacerbations of asthma asks the nurse to explain why she is at greater risk for fractures than other women her age. The nurse should explain to the client that she is at greater risk for osteoporosis for which reason?

1. "Because you have been taking steroids long term, calcium leaves the bone and goes to the blood, which places you at risk for osteoporosis."

2. "Because you take steroids, you have developed adrenocorticotrophic insufficiency, which causes serum calcium to drop. This places you at risk for fractures."

3. "Clients who have asthma are not able to exercise enough to prevent fractures from occurring."

4. "You should get a second opinion because asthma should not put you at increased risk for fractures."
