Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Skim milk and yogurt are high in calcium. The other choices do not contain any high-calcium foods.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Progression of osteoporosis can be slowed by increasing calcium intake and weight-bearing exercise. Estrogen replacement therapy does help prevent osteoporosis, but it is not the only treatment and is not appropriate for some patients. Corticosteroid therapy increases the risk for osteoporosis.
