Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin and is therefore absorbed along with dietary fat. In individuals with steatorrhea, there is impaired absorption of dietary fats due to liver damage, which can lead to deficiencies in fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and is not affected by steatorrhea. The information provided does not mention vitamin B status specifically, so choices C and D cannot be definitively determined as correct or incorrect.
