What is the priority nursing diagnosis for a client with osteoporosis?Based on the assessment data, the major nursing diagnoses for a patient who has osteoporosis may include: Deficient knowledge about the osteoporotic process and treatment regimen. Acute pain related to fracture and muscle spasm. Risk for constipation related to immobility or development of ileus.
What is the definitive diagnosis of osteoporosis?To diagnose osteoporosis and assess your risk of fracture and determine your need for treatment, your doctor will most likely order a bone density scan. This exam is used to measure bone mineral density (BMD). It is most commonly performed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA or DEXA) or bone densitometry.
What is the first indication of osteoporosis?There typically are no symptoms in the early stages of bone loss. But once your bones have been weakened by osteoporosis, you might have signs and symptoms that include: Back pain, caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra. Loss of height over time.
What diagnostic test is most commonly used to diagnose osteoporosis?A bone density test determines if you have osteoporosis — a disorder characterized by bones that are more fragile and more likely to break. The test uses X-rays to measure how many grams of calcium and other bone minerals are packed into a segment of bone.
