Mrs. f has spider nevi, broken skin capillaries. normally, broken skin capillaries do not cause visible blemishes, but hers are bleeding more than usual. could this be due to her liver problems? which of the liver functions below is most likely to affect mrs. f's clotting?

Answer: E. The liver makes bile, which is needed to absorb lipid-soluble vitamins.

The liver makes bile that absorbs vitamin A, D, E, and K which is lipid-soluble. If the liver damaged and the bile production is reduced, the absorption of those vitamins will be reduced too. Vitamin K has a role in blood clotting, so the symptoms probably caused by vitamin K deficiency.
