Osteoporosis raises the risk of fractures that can threaten a patient’s mobility, independence, and long-term health, making early identification and prevention essential to nursing care. This course offers a clinical overview of osteoporosis for nurses, including RNs, NPs, and CNSs, focusing on risk factors, assessment, and evidence-informed strategies that support patient care and rehabilitation. Learn how to identify patients at risk, apply the principles of fracture prevention, and utilize care strategies that improve safety and functional outcomes. This course emphasizes patient education, mobility considerations, and interdisciplinary care, helping you strengthen clinical decision-making and optimize outcomes for patients with osteoporosis.
