A 72-year-old woman fell in her bathtub and fractured her hip. In viewing the fracture, X-ray revealed osteoporotic changes in her bone as well. After reduction of the fracture, and immobilizing the bones with internal pins, what type of exercise would the doctor have advised her to do as soon as she was able in addition to prescribing calcium supplements to improve her bone mass? 1 swimming 2 load-bearing exercise 3 vigorous aerobic exercise 4 sit-ups

Mrs. Bruso, a woman in her 80s, is brought to the clinic with a fractured hip. X-rays reveal compression fractures in her lower vertebral column and extremely low bone density in her vertebrae, hip bones, and femurs. What is the condition, cause, and treatment?
JL, a 50-year-old woman, fell and broke the left tibia at the ankle. She is in the emergency department, waiting for the fracture to be immobilized. The leg hurts and she notes that the ankle is swelling. A diagnosis of a simple fracture and sprain (damage to ligaments) is made. She is told to come back to the fracture clinic in 24 hours to have her cast checked. What could happen to the inflamed tissue if the edema increases in the casted area?
