Constructing ordered fields with lattice structure from ordered fields without lattice structure, and vice versa

This post originated from my reference request for the definition of an ordered field in constructive mathematics: Proper definition of ordered field in constructive mathematics

We are working in constructive mathematics. For the sake of this post, let us define a ordered field to be a field $K$ with a strict linear order $<$ such that $0 < 1$ and for all elements $a \in K$ and $b \in K$, if $a > 0$ and $b > 0$ then $a + b > 0$ and $a \cdot b > 0$. $K$ has a partial order $\leq$ defined by $a \leq b := \neg(b < a)$. An ordered field is a lattice field if additionally it contains a binary meet function $\min$ and join function $\max$ such that $(K, \leq, \min, \max)$ is a (unbounded) lattice. A nonlattice field is an ordered field where the partial order $\leq$ does not form a lattice.

In one of the comments of my reference request, Geoffrey Irving states

Given a lattice field, one can adjoin a positive transcendental with no other information to get a nonlattice field. And given a nonlattice field, there is a constructive lattice closure that extends it as a constructive field.

Are there proofs of these two statements?
