Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3

Rationale 1: Increasing exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light increases the level of cholecalciferol in the bloodstream.
Rationale 2: Milk and other food fortified with vitamin D can increase the level of cholecalciferol in the bloodstream.
Rationale 3: Milk and other food fortified with vitamin D can increase the level of cholecalciferol in the bloodstream.
Rationale 4: Increasing food calories by 300 does not increase the level of cholecalciferol in the bloodstream.
Rationale 5: Decreasing exercise does not increase the level of cholecalciferol in the bloodstream.

Global Rationale: The inactive form of vitamin D, called cholecalciferol, is synthesized in the skin from cholesterol. Exposure of the skin to sunlight or ultraviolet light increases the level of cholecalciferol in the bloodstream. Cholecalciferol can also be obtained from milk or other foods that are fortified with vitamin D.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale 1: Calcium, but not vitamin D, is important for normal blood coagulation.
Rationale 2: Calcium, but not vitamin D, is important for neurotransmitter release.
Rationale 3: Calcium and vitamin D both must be available at sufficient levels to provide stability to the skeletal system.
Rationale 4: Calcium, but not vitamin D, is important for seizure prevention.

Global Rationale: Calcium and vitamin D both must be available at sufficient levels to provide stability to the skeletal system. Calcium, but not vitamin D, is important for normal blood coagulation, neurotransmitter release, and seizure prevention.
