Answer to Question 1

D
Daily recommendation is 1200 mg of calcium, and 600 to 800 units of vitamin D are needed to enable the body to use the calcium. Daily vitamin B12 intake is correct, but older adults require 20 g to 35 g of fiber. Although 1600 calories per day is correct, fluid intake (preferably water) should be 1500 ml, approximately six to eight 8-oz glasses. Vitamin B12 intake should be 2.4 mcg per day, and calories from fat should be 20 to 25.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Drugs and their metabolites are excreted in sweat, saliva, and other secretions but primarily through the kidneys. Metabolites are not eliminated through the spleen.
