Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Osteomalacia is a deficiency of vitamin D, and it would contribute to lower-than-normal serum calcium levels.
Rationale 2: The bone destruction that occurs with metastatic bone tumors releases calcium into the bloodstream and elevates the serum calcium level.
Rationale 3: Hypoparathyroidism would result in lower-than-normal serum calcium levels.
Rationale 4: Chronic renal disease is associated with lower-than-normal levels of calcium.
Global Rationale: The bone destruction that occurs with metastatic bone tumors releases calcium into the bloodstream and elevates the serum calcium level. Osteomalacia is a deficiency of vitamin D, and it would contribute to lower-than-normal serum calcium levels. Hypoparathyroidism would result in lower-than-normal serum calcium levels. Chronic renal disease is associated with lower-than-normal levels of calcium.
