When providing health teaching for an older client with osteoporosis,what information should the nurse include?

A) To prevent stress fractures,avoid long walks
B) Tell the client to eat foods high in calcium and vitamin D
C) Remind the client to have a yearly bone scan
D) Anti-inflammatory drugs should be taken for joint stiffness

Eating foods high in calcium and vitamin D is important for maintaining bone density and preventing further bone loss in clients with osteoporosis. Long walks and anti-inflammatory drugs may not be appropriate or effective interventions for this condition. Yearly bone scans may be recommended by the healthcare provider, but it is not the most essential information to include in health teaching.
