Question 14 • Nursing Assistant - EL3610

Trisha is seeing a specialist because she has had numerous broken bones and fractures in the past year without having had any major traumas. What disease is Trisha most likely being affected by?

Answer
A
polymyositis
B
arthritis
C
osteoporosis
D
fibromyalgia

Explanation

Osteoporosis weakens bones by reducing their density, making them more likely to break from minor impacts or even ordinary activities. Trisha’s repeated fractures without major trauma are characteristic of osteoporosis. Polymyositis affects muscles, while arthritis and fibromyalgia do not typically cause bones to fracture easily.
