Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale 1: A consistent level of calcium is needed for vital body processes and functions, such as bone matrix construction.
Rationale 2: A consistent level of calcium is needed for vital body processes and functions, such as muscle contraction.
Rationale 3: A consistent level of calcium is needed for vital body processes and functions, such as nerve conduction.
Rationale 4: Calcium does not play a role in fluid balance.
Rationale 5: Calcium does not play a role in promoting a healthy immune system.
Global Rationale: A consistent level of calcium is needed for vital body processes and functions such as bone matrix construction, muscle contraction, hormone and enzyme secretion, hemostasis, and nerve conduction. It does not play a role in fluid balance or in promoting a healthy immune system.
