Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Although output does depend on intake, the normal adult urine output is 1500 to 1600 mL/day.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
The kidneys play a role in calcium and phosphate regulation by producing a substance that con-verts vitamin D into its active form. Clients with chronic alterations in kidney function do not make sufficient amounts of the active vitamin D. Clients with chronic alterations in kidney func-tion do not suffer from an insufficient amount of vitamin A, vitamin E, or vitamin K.
