A Public Health Nurse Is Conducting a Health Promotion Teaching

A public health nurse is conducting a health promotion teaching session at a seniors' drop-in center. Which of the following teaching points about hip fractures in older adults is most justified?

A) "Current treatment options for hip fractures in older adults mean that surgery is no longer a common necessity."
B) "Because of their generally higher body mass, men are particularly susceptible to breaking a hip in a fall."
C) "Most hip fractures are actually a break at the very top of the thigh bone."
D) "Because bone density is largely determined by your genes, there's little you can do to prevent hip fractures other than avoiding falls."
