Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
If the patient has a daily calcium intake of greater than 2,000 mg, she may be at risk for kidney stones. Patients should check labels of food as well as supplements to ensure that the contents do not add up to excessive calcium consumption; however, the RDA listed on milk products' nutritional labels for calcium intake may be too great for the older patient. Calcium does not contribute to caloric intake. Calcium supplements totaling not more than 5,000 mg is too high an amount for most adults.
