Question 1 of 5
A client with microcytic anemia is having trouble selecting food from the hospital menu. Which food is best for the nurse to suggest for satisfying the client's nutritional needs?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Microcytic anemia is often due to iron deficiency. Egg yolks are a good source of iron, particularly heme iron, which is highly bioavailable. Brown rice and vegetables contain non-heme iron but in lower amounts, and tea inhibits iron absorption due to tannins. Egg yolks are the best choice.
