Answer to Question 1

4 Rationale: This client is experiencing menstrual irregularities and is not receiving an adequate source of dietary calcium. These two factors together place this client at an increased risk for developing stress fractures, bone loss, and osteoporosis. Due to high-impact training exercises, this client may be at risk for developing arthritis, but not as a result of low calcium intake combined with menstrual irregularities. This client does not have an increased risk for developing multiple sclerosis or hyperparathyroidism .

Answer to Question 2

D
Hard water contains calcium and magnesium. Some natural water sources contain iron (this water may stain sinks and appliances brown). Lead is considered a contaminant in water. Softened water contains sodium. Zinc, sulfur, and potassium are not usually found in water.
