Therefore, all options are true except 'D', which makes it the exception.

• D. 18 months.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Vitamin A can be stored in the liver to meet basic needs for at least 1 year. This storage capacity allows the body to have a reserve of Vitamin A to sustain its needs over an extended period. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they underestimate the storage capacity of Vitamin A in the liver, which can last longer than these durations.

5. A healthcare professional is reviewing the lab results of a client who has bulimia nervosa. The professional should notify the provider of which of the following results?

• B. Hemoglobin 14 g/dL
• C. Magnesium 1.6 mg/dL
• D. Potassium 3.2 mEq/L

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A potassium level of 3.2 mEq/L is below normal and requires provider notification, especially in clients with bulimia nervosa who are at risk of electrolyte imbalances. Low potassium levels can lead to serious complications like cardiac arrhythmias. The other options are within or close to the normal range and would not be a priority for notification.
