Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Salmon calcitonin is the drug of choice for rapid relief of pain associated with Paget's disease. Alendronate, calcifediol, and NSAIDs are not indicated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Alendronate can induce hyperparathyroidism in patients with Paget's disease; calcium supplementation can prevent this effect. Giving calcium does not reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation, maximize bone resorption of calcium, or minimize the risk of esophageal cancer.
