Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Iodine is necessary for adequate thyroid hormone secretion. Calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D do not affect thyroid hormone secretion.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3
Questions for the female patient that could identify genetic factors affecting the patient would focus on problems with menstruation, pregnancy, and/or menopause. The other responses are appropriate for assessing endocrine function but do not focus on possible genetic influences.
