Answer to Question 1

Explanation: 3. 4000 kcal and 135 grams protein is the recommended caloric and protein intake in a twin-gestation pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: Females have a higher incidence. Eighty percent of diagnosed osteoporosis cases are in women.
Rationale 2: This is a true statement, as women who experience menopause at a younger age and have less bone mass lose the benefit of estrogen for more years.
Rationale 3: Estrogen affects bone mass, strength, density, and quality.
Rationale 4: Osteoporosis puts the patient at a greater risk for fractures of the hip, forearm, and vetebrae.
