During a routine adult wellness assessment, which of the following screenings is MOST appropriate to administer to assess a patient's risk for osteoporosis?
Breast and colorectal cancer prevention screening
Counseling on nutritional calcium intake
Depression screening using a standardized assessment tool
A bone density test is the most appropriate screening tool to assess a patient's risk for osteoporosis. This test can detect osteoporosis before a fracture occurs and predict one's chances of fracturing in the future. While cancer prevention screening, depression screening, and dietary counseling in regards to calcium intake are important parts of a wellness assessment for adults, they do not directly assess bone density or the potential presence of osteoporosis.
