A child presents with bone deficiency and a bowlegged appearance. This assessment data supports a diagnosis of:

b) Osteoporosis

c) Osteomalacia

d) Paget disease

Vitamin D provides the body with higher absorption rate of calcium and phosphorus, inadequate intake of Vitamin D results into low calcium and phosphorus levels in the bones, as a result, rickets sets in.

Rickets is a disarrangement of impaired mineralization of cartilaginous growth plates in children. It can also result from lack of exposure to sunlight.

Identify each items as either an element or a compound
ruslelena [56]
Carbon (C) is an element
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a compound
Hydrogen (H) is an element
Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is a compound
