Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
This patient has scurvy with acute, severe symptoms and needs intravenous vitamin C. The patient does not have signs of vitamin B12 deficiency, niacin deficiency, or thiamin deficiency.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Orange juice is a good source of vitamin C, and vitamin C facilitates the absorption of iron. Cereals often are fortified with iron but do not facilitate its absorption. Calcium interferes with the absorption of iron. Red meats are a natural source of iron.
