Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The profile of a patient in metabolic acidosis is that the blood pH will be below 7.35 and the oxygen readings are within normal limits.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble. Difficulty with fat metabolism will result in the inability to use fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin K plays a role in blood clotting. It is important in maintaining four of the eleven clotting factors found in the blood.
