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?

A. Administer at mealtimes B. Give with a 240 mL (8 oz) glass of milk. C. Administer at bed time D. Give with orange juice

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 helps the child's body better utilize the iron to treat the anemia. Administering the medication with orange juice optimizes its effectiveness. Administering at mealtimes (
A) is not specific enough and may not guarantee optimal absorption. Giving with milk (
B) is not recommended as calcium in milk can inhibit iron absorption. Administering at bedtime (
C) is not necessary and may not be as effective as with orange juice.
