A 70-year-old client with a diagnosis of left-sided cerebrovaseular accident is admitted to the facility. To prevent the development of disuse osteoporosis, which of the following objectives is most appropriate
A.Maintaining protein levels.
B.Maintaining vitamin levels.
C.Promoting weight-bearing exercises.
D.Promoting range-of-motion (ROM) exercises.
参考答案:C
解析:When the mechanical stressors of weight bearing are absent, disuse osteoporosis can occur. Therefore, if the client does weight-bearing exercises, disuse complications can be prevented. Maintaining protein and vitamins levels is important, but neither will prevent osteoporosis. ROM exercises will help prevent muscle atrophy and contractures.
