Answer to Question 1

2 Rationale: This client has a busy schedule and little time to eat adequate amounts of food and nutrients. This client has a higher risk of developing osteoporosis, stress fractures, injuries, and a delayed onset of puberty. However, the client does not have a higher risk of developing bone cancer. The nurse needs to explore the client's issues that may prevent them from eating well, and then suggest some ways to improve their intake of food and nutrients. This client should snack more often because they may not be able to sit down to eat three meals each day. At this stage, there is no reason to suggest that the young athlete should quit their sport.

Answer to Question 2

C
Long-term dietary calcium intake affects bone calcium levels. Calcium does not affect body temperature. The body maintains steady levels of calcium in the blood and muscles, using cal-cium from bone if dietary intake is insufficient.
