Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Vitamin D facilitates intestinal absorption of calcium. It does not directly increase bone density, and the liver does not independently produce vitamin D. Vitamin D does not decrease the rate of bone resorption.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A, C

Feedback:

The treatment of dysfunctional bleeding of a nonhormonal nature is usually treated with oral contraceptives or cyclic progesterone therapy. Prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors are prescribed for dysmenorrhea. Anxiolytic drugs treat mood changes of PMS.
