An older female adult client is seen in the clinic and is surprised to find that she is shorter than she was a few years ago. The client thinks the nurse may have made a mistake. What is the best response by the nurse?

A) Teach the client that old people are not active enough so eventually they have a decrease in their bone mass that they could have prevented.
B) Tell the client that she is wrong, and that nurses see this happen every day in old people.
C) Teach the client that osteoporosis and age-related loss of bone mass could be responsible for a decrease in height and that it would be good to talk with the physician about this.
D) Teach the client that older adults often lose height based on poor posture, bone compression fractures, and their sedentary lifestyles.
