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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
