Answer to Question 1

1
Calcium-based stones (renal calculi) are the most common type of stone. Dietary measures should be taken to decrease the potential of developing another stone. Struvite stones are made of magnesium, phosphate, and ammonium and are usually staghorn in nature. Only 5 of renal stones are from uric acid. Cystine stones are associated with hereditary factors.

Answer to Question 2

3
An insulin vial that is currently in use can be stored at room temperature as long as 4 weeks. The other choices are incorrect lengths of time to store insulin.
