Osteoporosis, a prevalent metabolic bone disorder characterized by reduced bone density and increased fracture risk, is significantly influenced by vitamin D deficiency. This study examines the critical role of vitamin D in bone health, exploring evidence-based strategies for prevention through nursing interventions, nutritional approaches, and laboratory monitoring. Key populations at risk—including older adults, postmenopausal women, and individuals with limited sun exposure or malabsorption disorders—are identified, alongside clinical manifestations of deficiency such as fractures, bone pain, and muscle weakness. Nursing interventions emphasize patient education, supplementation guidelines, and fall prevention, while nutritional strategies highlight dietary sources of vitamin D and calcium, alongside fortification and supplementation recommendations. Laboratory monitoring, particularly serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D testing, is underscored as essential for assessing deficiency and guiding treatment. A multidisciplinary approach integrating nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, and physical therapists is proposed to optimize osteoporosis prevention through coordinated care. This study concludes that addressing vitamin D deficiency through tailored interventions and regular monitoring can significantly reduce osteoporosis incidence and improve long-term skeletal health outcomes.
