Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Vitamin K occurs naturally in two forms: One is found in plants, and the other is synthesized in the intestinal tract by bacteria. These intestinal tract bacteria can be killed by the antibiotics, resulting in a shortage or deficiency of vitamin K.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
After the transplant and the kidney starts functioning, the fluid restriction is generally lifted based on the individual's response.
