Answer to Question 1

3
The skin synthesizes vitamin D by using ultraviolet light to convert 7-dehydrocholesterol in the epidermis. In the event of a large burn, the client may need vitamin D supplementation. The other vitamins are essential to normal body functioning; however, they may not be affected because of the burn.

Answer to Question 2

3
To meet the body's nutritional needs, 45 to 65 of calories should come from carbohydrates. Fat intake should be limited to 20 to 35 of daily calories. Protein intake should be limited to 10 to 35 of total calories. There is no percentage of caloric intake each day for vitamins.
