Answer to Question 1

C
Decreased parathyroid hormone levels in the bloodstream causes a decreased calcium level. Severe hypocalcemia may result in laryngeal spasm, stridor, cyanosis, and increased possibility of asphyxia.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Although all these choices may warrant seeing a physician, only the indigestion or difficulty in swallowing (the I in the American Cancer Society's CAUTION acronym) is a warning signal for cancer.
