Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Disorders of calcium and bone metabolism include hypocalcemia, hypercalcemia, osteoporosis, Paget's disease, and bone breakdown associated with breast cancer and multiple myeloma. Sodium, potassium, and chloride alterations are not primarily associated with Paget's disease.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Injectable lidocaine is used for infiltration of the skin or subcutaneous administration prior to minor surgical procedures, such as I & D. Nebulized administration of lidocaine is reserved for lung procedures. Topical administration would be insufficient, and IV administration is not warranted.
