Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The client who is alcoholic may have a thiamine deficiency. The client with elevated cholesterol will have elevated lipid levels, but they are not associated with a vitamin deficiency. Gastritis and appendicitis are rapidly diagnosed and treated so are not likely to lead to a vitamin deficiency.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Vitamins that function as major antioxidants are vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene. Each has a slightly different role in the body.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
