What is the reason for ensuring the patient maintains adequate levels of vitamin K throughout the surgical process?
  1. To maintain a normal weight
  2. To reduce the risk of infection
  3. To ensure blood is clotting properly
  4. To promote wound healing
Explanation
Answer: C-Maintaining adequate levels of vitamin K is important to ensure blood is clotting properly. Vitamin K is essential for coagulation, which is particularly important when skin integrity is breached during the surgical process. Ensuring that the patient has adequate levels of vitamin K before the procedure can help to promote a recovery period with fewer complications of bleeding.
