Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Avoid giving Aisa orange or other citric juices with the iron preparation. Citric juices, such as orange juice, can decrease the absorption of iron in the body. Therefore, it is important to avoid giving these juices when administering the liquid iron preparation to Aisa to ensure optimal absorption of the iron. It would be best to encourage the use of non-citric juices or water when administering the iron preparation to Aisa.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is aware that a neonate of a mother with diabetes is at risk for what complication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Neonates born to mothers with diabetes are at risk for hypoglycemia due to their exposure to high blood glucose levels in the womb. During pregnancy, the baby's pancreas produces extra insulin to handle the excess glucose from the mother, but after birth, there may be a sudden drop in blood glucose levels in the baby, leading to hypoglycemia. It is important to monitor blood glucose levels closely in these neonates and provide appropriate interventions to prevent and manage hypoglycemia. Anemia, nitrogen loss, and thrombosis are not typically associated with neonates of mothers with diabetes.
