ANSWER

ANS: 2
The kidneys play a role in calcium and phosphate regulation by producing a substance that con-verts vitamin D into its active form. Clients with chronic alterations in kidney function do not make sufficient amounts of the active vitamin D. Clients with chronic alterations in kidney func-tion do not suffer from an insufficient amount of vitamin A, vitamin E, or vitamin K.
