Answer to Question 1

C
This 65-year-old woman in a long-term care facility lacks exposure to the sun; in addition her age places her at increase need for additional vitamin D. Outdoor activities (e.g., soccer and tennis) provide exposure to sufficient sunlight to produce adequate vitamin D. While the client who works in an office building may be at risk due to pregnancy and decreased sun exposure, only 30 minutes a day two to three times a week is sufficient to produce vitamin D.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Diabetes mellitus does not cause the same release of thromboplastin that triggers DIC.
2. Damage to the uterine wall results from an abruptio placentae. This damage results in release of thromboplastin into the maternal blood supply, and triggers the development of DIC.
3. Cesarean delivery does not cause the same release of thromboplastin that triggers DIC.
4. Multiparity does not cause the same release of thromboplastin that triggers DIC.
