Answer: (C)

Recovery from an osteoporosis-related fracture relies heavily on hands-on, ongoing support at home. This includes helping with safe movements and transfers, ensuring medications and supplements are taken on schedule, guiding and supervising prescribed exercises, preparing nutritious meals rich in calcium and vitamin D, and maintaining a fall-safe environment. The patient’s daughter is often in the best position to provide this continuous, personal care—she typically knows the patient’s routines, is readily available for daily help, and can coordinate with healthcare providers to monitor progress. While the nurse delivers professional medical care and other people may assist, the daughter’s role as the primary caregiver during recovery makes her the most fitting answer.
