Answer to Question 1

B
Hyperparathyroidism involves overactivity of the parathyroid glands, with increased production of parathormone. The primary clinical manifestation is hypercalcemia. This occurs as calcium leaves the bones and accumulates in the blood stream.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
It is difficult to determine the accuracy of pain in the elderly because some overreport as a means of getting attention; others underreport pain. It is important to explore every possible cause for pain, including physical, emotional, socioeconomic, and spiritual factors. It would be inappropriate to discount the patient's pain or to characterize it as phantom pain of a normal part of aging.
