Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Postmenopausal women need to ensure a daily intake of calcium of at least 1 g. Supplements may be required. It would be inaccurate to encourage the woman to consume as much calcium as possible given the risks associated with excess calcium intake. Neither vitamin D supplementation nor exercise is the primary preventative measure for the development of osteoporosis.
