Question

Susan is a very slight 60year old woman of Japanese heritage with Down syndrome. She is post-menopausal and never has been very active as she uses a power wheelchair because of her foot problems which include bunions, uncut toe nails and uneven foot pads. She does not enjoy eating and it is always a struggle to get her to eat. Although she can feed herself, she will rarely finish a meal unless encouraged. Her favorite position to eat is lying on her bed watching television. After several bone fractures that resulted when she was transferred from a chair to bed, a bone-density test was done. It was discovered that she had significant bone loss in her hips and was given a diagnosis of osteoporosis. Her physician prescribed Tums™ and Fosamax™ to see whether it will prevent further bone loss and to perhaps rebuild some of the calcium lost. The oral medicine must be given on a daily basis in the morning, before any food is ingested and the individual must remain vertical until the liquid has had time to completely clear the esophagus or ulceration can occur. The MD also requested that her diet should include a greater amount of calcium rich foods including particular milk products. ______________________________________________________ What are the behaviors that need to be changed?
