Rationale 2: Calcium gluconate (Kalcinate) is not a vitamin D supplement.
Rationale 3: Calcifediol (Calderol) is given PO.
Rationale 4: Ergocalciferol (Deltalin) is given PO or IM.

Global Rationale: Ergocalciferol (Deltalin) is given PO or IM. Calcitriol (Calcijex) is given PO. Calcium gluconate (Kalcinate) is not a vitamin D supplement. Calcifediol (Calderol) is given PO.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale 1: Chondroitin sulfate is a dietary supplement that forms part of the matrix between cartilage cells, and is usually combined with glucosamine in specific arthritis formulas.
Rationale 2: Glucosamine sulfate is a natural substance that is an important building block of cartilage. With aging, glucosamine is lost with the natural thinning of cartilage. Although reliable long-term studies are not available, glucosamine is marketed as a safe and inexpensive alternative to prescription anti-inflammatory drugs.
Rationale 3: Echinacea is used as an immune system booster.
Rationale 4: Black cohosh has been reported to help with menopausal symptoms.
