In teaching a client with hypoparathyroidism about the disorder, which statement by the nurse best explains how the parathyroid hormone controls calcium levels in the blood?
1. Parathyroid hormones promote magnesium excretion by the kidneys, which raise blood calcium levels.
2. Parathyroid hormones stimulate cells of the gastrointestinal tract to absorb dietary calcium, raising the blood level.
3. Parathyroid hormone blocks phosphorous excretion by the kidneys, which then decreases the blood calcium level.
4. When blood calcium levels fall, parathyroid hormones stimulate bone resorption and increase calcium in the blood.
