   2. Insensible water loss.
   3. Sensible water loss.
   4. Indiscriminate water loss.
   5. Uncompensated water loss.

Answer to Question 1

2, 3
Rationale: Water lost from the body by sweating is referred to as insensible water loss because it is difficult to measure. Sensible water loss refers to water loss which is measurable such as water eliminated in urine. Both types of water lost are calculated to monitor for dehydration. Indeterminate, uncompensated, and indiscriminate are not terms used to define water loss.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Milk is a nearly perfect source because it contains vitamin D and lactose, which promote calcium absorption.
