Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3
Sufficient dietary fat is needed to absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Cholesterol is needed for proper hormonal function, and fat tissue helps insulate the internal organs. Vitamin K is synthesized by bacteria in the intestine and vitamin D is formed by the action of ultraviolet light on the skin.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
There is no current data to support a preference for one source of vitamins over another. The National Academy of Sciences does publish the results of research and make recommendations regarding minimum daily vitamin intake. It is true that vitamin requirements are not the same for all people. Evidence-based practice sometimes results in changes in recommended doses of vitamins.
