●● Calcitonin salmon
Answer: The prototype and only medication in the calcitonin
classification, used to decrease bone resorption and decrease serum
calcium levels in clients with hypercalcemia.
●● Hypocalcemic
Answer: Medication classification of calcitonin, indicating its action in
decreasing serum calcium levels.
●● Calcium supplements
Answer: Provide a non-dietary source of calcium, used for conditions
like hypocalcemia, calcium deficiency, or as antacids for gastric
hyperacidity.

Answer: A prototype calcium supplement primarily used for calcium
replacement as a dietary supplement.
●● Calcium carbonate
,Answer: A prototype calcium supplement also used as an antacid,
effective in neutralizing gastric acid.

mg at one time.
●● Bioavailability
Answer: The proportion of a drug or other substance that enters the
circulation when introduced into the body and is able to have an active
