Do supplements and complementary alternatives to medicine (CAM) in older adult women influence osteoporosis prevention?
State why the topic was chosen and how it relates to nursing.
Part of the role of a nurse is to provide patient education. Osteoporosis numbers in the United States have increased and it is important to teach patients proper prevention. Though foods rich in Calcium and Vitamin D are always encouraged, supplements as well as exercise can also be beneficial. Avoiding alcohol and smoking also decrease the risk. During an assessment, the nurse might ask the patient about their medical history such as if they’ve fractured a bone recently or notice height loss. These can indicate a risk for osteoporosis.

Comment on the intended audience
Osteoporosis-Related Risk Factors and Health Beliefs of Women Who are First-Degree Relatives of Turkish Nursing Students
The intended audience for this article is women who are related to nursing students.
Compare and contrast with another article
Osteoporosis-Related Risk Factors and Health Beliefs of Women Who are First-Degree Relatives of Turkish Nursing Students
Difference in Bone Mineral Density Between Young Versus Midlife Women
Both articles assessed osteoporosis risk factors and knowledge of midlife women. They both mention the importance of Calcium and Vitamin D consumption and physical activity.
Difference in Bone Mineral Density Between Young Versus Midlife Women
This article also focused on young women as well as those who are midlife. Results showed young women actually have lower bone mineral density compared to older woman and are at risk for early onset osteoporosis. Peak bone mass in women is around the age 20 and they lose 0.5% each year until menopause, where the percentage increases.
Explain how this work increases the body of nursing knowledge and promotes evidence-based practice.
This article increases the body of nursing knowledge and promotes evidence-based practice because it surveyed women about their knowledge of osteoporosis, the risk factors, as well as prevention. Most women knew about the benefits of calcium intake and exercise, to aid in prevention. However, it is still a topic nurses must educate about. Women post-menopause, have a family history of osteoporosis or have had a recent fracture are at risk and should be screened early to diagnose and begin treatment.

Do supplements and complementary alternatives to medicine (CAM) in older adult women influence osteoporosis prevention?
State why the topic was chosen and how it relates to nursing.
National Osteoporosis Society Vitamin D Guideline Summary
The topic was chosen because even though the article targets women between the ages 25-35 years old, it is useful for any patient around that age. Osteoporosis occurs more in women more than men but they can both be affected regardless. Women are more at risk after menopause so it is important to educate them before. As nurses, part of our job is to educate our patients on disease prevention.

Research Design and Method
National Osteoporosis Society Vitamin D Guideline Summary
This study used a quantitative approach. A control group was not used. Different variables were used to see how effective an educational program on Osteoporosis was.
Comment on the intended audience
National Osteoporosis Society Vitamin D Guideline Summary
The intended audience is healthcare professionals and teachers who care for or may care for women between the ages 25-35 years old. It also targets women between those ages.
Compare and contrast with another article
National Osteoporosis Society Vitamin D Guideline Summary
This article focuses on educating women and healthcare providers about osteoporosis specifically in women between the ages 25-35 years old. It is important to educate women about how the risk of osteoporosis is increased after menopause.
Explain how this work increases the body of nursing knowledge and promotes evidence-based practice.
National Osteoporosis Society Vitamin D Guideline Summary
This article increases the body of nursing knowledge and promotes evidence-based practice because the educational program was effective in teaching women and teaching staff about osteoporosis. This study used a quantitative approach. A control group was not used and different variables were used to see how effective an educational program on Osteoporosis was. The article mentioned how women generally have less calcium intake in their diet than men, but does not recommend supplementing with calcium pills.
Osteoporosis Prevention: Narrowing the Gap Between Knowledge and Application
Both articles talk about the importance of osteoporosis education and how providers do not always talk to their clients about prevention methods. However, methods used in this article were preintervention and postintervention reviews. Recommendations include calcium and vitamin D supplements as well as lifestyle changes.

The topic is regarding adults and how lack of vitamin D and calcium contributes as a risk factor for osteoporosis. There are different scales such as the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS) and the Osteoporosis Self Efficacy Scale (OSES) that assess these risks.

Compare and contrast with another article Determination of the Validity and Reliability of a Modified Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale and Osteoporosis Self-Efficacy Scale to Include Vitamin D This article talks about modifiable risk factors for prevention of osteoporosis such as dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D, an active lifestyle, keeping a healthy body weight and avoiding smoking or alcohol use. In this article, a convenience sample of 153 adults were assessed. This article was similar to the first article because they both stress the importance of vitamin D and calcium consumption in order to prevent osteoporosis in adults.
