Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The 35-year-old female with quadriplegia from an auto accident experiences prolonged immobility, which will increase calcium loss from bones and therefore increase the chance of calcium stones precipitating in the urinary system. A 65-year-old male with a recent history of myocardial infarction, 50-year-old male with type II diabetes mellitus, and 25-year-old female with several episodes of urinary infection do not have as great a risk because they do not remain immobile for long periods of time.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Men who are in young to middle age are affected 2-3 times more than women of that age. The frequency of the occurrence of renal stones in the United States is greatest in the southern and midwestern states.
