Answer to Question 1

A student attending college with the condition Factor V Leiden thrombophilia will have some difficulty obtaining a variety and balance of foods with low vitamin K from the school cafeteria to maintain a healthy diet.

Answer to Question 2

An individual with Factor V Leiden thrombophilia does not have to avoid all foods with vitamin K; it is more important that he or she chooses foods with low amounts of vitamin K and consumes a consistent amount of vitamin K each day to meet the dietary requirement (DRI = 120 micrograms/day for Muayyad). Actually, you can eat any food except for those that are exceptionally high (> or = to the DRI) in vitamin K.
