Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Urine calcium may be measured to help detect bone disease; high amounts of calcium indicate degeneration of bone tissue.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Frequent urination is a common discomfort of pregnancy. This is because the enlarging uterus presses against the bladder, causing the need to urinate more frequently than usual. Persistent vomiting, burning micturition, and severe headaches are danger signs of pregnancy and should be immediately reported to the physician.
