Answer to Question 1

C
The use of antacids can mask early angina because the patient thinks it is heartburn instead. Antacids contain large amounts of sodium and can increase the severity of cardiovascular disease, renal disease, and hypertension. They do not affect vomiting or headaches, however.

Answer to Question 2

B
Type I osteoporosis is related to a lack of estrogen. White women with fair complexions and white and Asian women with small body types are at the highest risk. A postmenopausal Asian with a small body frame is at the highest risk. Responses A, C, and D are incorrect.
