Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Magnesium deficiency can result in muscle spasm, personality changes, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting. Tetany, myoclonic jerks, athetoid movements, seizures, and coma can also occur.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Vitamin K is essential for the formation of clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X in the liver. Thus, vitamin K deficiency is associated with bleeding tendencies and is characterized by petechiae, ecchymoses, bleeding into joints or muscles, hematemesis, hematuria, gastrointestinal (GI) bleed-ing, asthenia, and hypovolemic shock.
