Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a pediatric clinic is caring for a child who has iron deficiency anemia and a new prescription for ferrous sulfate tablets. Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide the parents regarding administration of this medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Give with orange juice. Orange juice contains vitamin C, which enhances the absorption of iron from ferrous sulfate tablets. This improves the effectiveness of the medication in treating the child's iron deficiency anemia. Administering the tablets with orange juice helps the body absorb the iron more efficiently.
A: Administering at mealtimes does not specifically address the need for vitamin C to aid in iron absorption.
B: Giving with milk is not recommended as calcium in milk can inhibit iron absorption.
C: Administering at bedtime does not provide any benefit in terms of iron absorption.
Summary: The correct answer, giving with orange juice, helps optimize iron absorption. Administering with milk can hinder absorption, while mealtimes and bedtime do not directly impact iron absorption.
