Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Lower body obesity may be more difficult to treat. The low waist-to-hip ratio does not predispose this patient to develop gastrointestinal dysfunction. The risk for hyperinsulinemia and heart disease is lower in people with lower body obesity than in those with upper body obesity.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Vitamin K is the only fat soluble vitamin that cannot be administered intravenously. Vitamins A, D, and E can be given IV.
