Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Calcium supplements should be added to the client's calcium intake. Dietary changes to increase sources of calcium are important to maintain. The risk of hypercalcemia is minimal at suggested doses.
Rationale 2: Vitamin C is an important vitamin, but not critical for bone formation and maintenance.
Rationale 3: Bran and whole-grain foods inhibit the absorption of calcium in the gastrointestinal tract.
Rationale 4: Increasing protein intake will not help maintain calcium level.
Global Rationale: Bran and whole-grain foods inhibit the absorption of calcium in the gastrointestinal tract. Calcium supplements should be added to the client's calcium intake. Dietary changes to increase sources of calcium are important to maintain. The risk of hypercalcemia is minimal at suggested doses. Vitamin C is an important vitamin, but not critical for bone formation and maintenance. Increasing protein intake will not help maintain calcium level.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Allopurinol (Zyloprim) is not prescribed for anti-inflammatory effects in the treatment of gout.
Rationale 2: Gout is a disorder caused by the accumulation of uric acid in the body. Allopurinol (Zyloprim) inhibits xanthine oxidase, which is necessary for the formation of uric acid.
Rationale 3: Allopurinol (Zyloprim) does not help the body excrete uric acid.
Rationale 4: Allopurinol (Zyloprim) does not prevent joint damage.
Global Rationale: Gout is a disorder caused by the accumulation of uric acid in the body. Allopurinol (Zyloprim) inhibits xanthine oxidase, which is necessary for the formation of uric acid. It is not prescribed as an anti-inflammatory, does not help the body excrete uric acid and does not prevent joint damage.
