Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Hypercalcemia is relatively rare in children, although it may be seen with certain malignancies. It would not result from a radiation injury, which would be more likely to affect the thyroid gland and it would not be caused by kidney failure or hypothyroidism.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
When investigators search for parasitic sources of infection, the stool is examined for ova and parasites. Blood, urine, and sputum are unlikely to reflect signs of parasitic infection.
