Millie, your 78-year-old outpatient with osteoporosis, loves to garden. She tells you she cannot get down on her hands and knees to pull weeds or tend to her flowers anymore. What do you recommend to Millie?
  1. Quit gardening since it is bad for Millie’s back.
  2. Stand or sit on a bench, and use long-handled garden tools to pull weeds.
  3. Install raised garden beds.
  4. Both B or C.
Explanation
Answer: D. You recommend to Millie to use long-handled garden tools to pull weeds, which will allow her to stand or sit on a bench to garden. You also tell Millie that installing raised garden beds would allow her to stand or sit on a bench to weed, depending on the height of the bed. Both of these adaptations would protect Millie’s back while gardening.
