A 3- year-old female child whose growth rate has been in the lower 10th percentile over the last year presents with chronic, nonproductive cough and diarrhea with foul-smelling stools. She is diagnosed as having cystic fibrosis. For which of the following vitamins is this child most likely to be at risk of deficiency?
a) Vitamin C
b) Vitamin B6
c) Folic acid
d) Retinol (vitamin A)
e) Riboflavin (vitamin B2)
All Fat soluble vit is required but above your answer list, Retinol is appropriate answer.
Liposoluble vitamins (D, E, and A) are indicated for pancreatic insufficiency, and vitamin K
supplementation is recommended for patients with liver disease. so, the answer is (D), Vitamin A
I think that the answer is absolutely vitamin K and from your answers vitamin A. This is the correct answer according to
