Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting. Signs and symptoms of a vitamin K deficiency include bleeding gums, bruising, dark tarry stools, and coffee-ground emesis (blood vomited from the stomach). Constipation, nausea, and a change in skin pigmentation are not signs of vitamin K deficiency.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Patients on long-term bile acid-sequestering resin therapy may become deficient in fat soluble vitamins (i.e., D, E, A, K). Cholestyramine does not affect electrolyte levels or hydrochloric acid.
