Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: Paget's disease is characterized by skeletal deformities caused by abnormal bone resorption, followed by abnormal regeneration. It is not caused by problems with muscles, joints, or nervous system functioning.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: Osteoporosis is a disorder that results in a loss of bone mass. The client with osteoporosis is most likely to suffer fractures as a result of this disorder. Phosphatemia, hypocalcemia, and muscle atrophy are not associated with this disorder.
