2. Almost all (99%) of the calcium in the body is used for?

• A. regulating the transmission of nerve impulses
• B. providing energy for cells
• C. providing rigidity for the bones
• D. regulating muscle contraction

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: providing rigidity for the bones. Almost all of the calcium in the body is utilized for maintaining the strength and structure of bones and teeth. Calcium plays a crucial role in skeletal health by providing rigidity and support to the skeletal system. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because while calcium is essential for various physiological functions like nerve transmission, cell energy production, and muscle contraction, the majority of calcium in the body is primarily allocated for bone health.

3. Which assessment finding indicates effective treatment for hyperemesis gravidarum?

• A. The client's glucose is within the normal range.
• B. The client ate 80% of their breakfast tray.

4. A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for a low-sodium diet. The client's family has requested to bring in some of the client's favorite foods. Which of the following food items should the nurse tell the family members to omit?

• A. Boiled rice
• B. Flat bread
• C. Broiled fish fillet
• D. Pickled vegetables

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Pickled vegetables.' Pickled vegetables are high in sodium due to the pickling process, making them unsuitable for a low-sodium diet. Boiled rice, flat bread, and broiled fish fillet are generally lower in sodium compared to pickled vegetables and can be included in a low-sodium diet. Therefore, the nurse should advise the family to omit pickled vegetables to adhere to the client's dietary restrictions.
