Question

A 20-year-old male patient has come to the clinic with a chronic cough, fatigue, and a 1-inch laceration along the shin that has

three times a day at the school cafeteria, consuming mainly breakfast cereal, granola bars, hot dogs, and pasta. The dietician
calculates that the patient is consuming 16 mg of vitamin C a day. What percentage of the RDA for a male in the patient's age
