Answer to Question 1

4
Mild malabsorption syndrome as seen with lactose intolerance is a contributing factor to secondary osteoporosis. Secondary osteoporosis is not associated with diabetes mellitus, heart failure, or fibromyalgia.

Answer to Question 2

3
The plan must incorporate strategies to care for a large influx of clients for up to 96 hours because it may be this long before assistance from the government can arrive. The other choices are incorrect lengths of time for the organization to prepare for supplies.
