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.
