Actual Prognosis

Criteria Poor Fair Good Justification

Duration of  Rated as good. Patient was

Condition admitted 2 days after her fall

and due to complaints of

persistent pain.

Onset of  Rated as good. Patient was

Condition admitted 2 days after the

incident. Patient have had

experienced in limitation of

movement after her fall.

Risk Factors  Rated as poor. Patient is

female and because women

lose more bone density than

men as they age because of

the loss of estrogen at

menopause. Patient is also

diabetic, which result in poor

vision, nerve damage, and

inactivity leading to falls this

is because bone quality is

adversely affected by

metabolic changes due to high

blood sugar levels. Patient

 also has osteoporosis which

causes the bone to become

weak and brittle.

Age  Rated as poor. The elderly,

are more at risk for fractures

because the skeletal system

exhibits physiologic changes

as we change.

Willingness to  Rated as good. Patient was

take medication encouraged to take calcium,

or compliance vitamin D and restricted foods

with therapeutic which would aggravate her

regimen condition. Patient is also

religiously taking her

maintenance medicine.

Family Support  Rated as good. Patient is

living all by herself with her

private nurses but sometimes,

her grandchildren will come

over to visit her. She never

uses the support of her

Scale Interpretation

Poor = 0 – 1.6

Fair = 1.7 – 3.3

Good = 3.4 - 5

Good Prognosis. As risk

factors, age and gender are

Implication the biggest drivers of

fractures. Women are far

more likely to have a fracture

than men; this is because

women’s bones are generally

smaller and less dense than

men’s bones. In addition,

women lose more bone

density than men as they age

because of the loss of

estrogen at menopause.

Changes in the muscles,

joints, and bones affect the

posture and walk, and lead to

weakness and slowed

movement. People lose bone

mass or density as they age,

especially women after

menopause.
