A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for ferrous sulfate tablets twice daily for iron-deficiency anemia.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for ferrous sulfate tablets twice daily for iron-deficiency anemia. The client asks the nurse why the provider instructed that she take the ferrous sulfate between meals. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Taking ferrous sulfate between meals enhances absorption, as food, especially dairy or high-fiber foods, can inhibit iron uptake. Constipation is a side effect but not related to meal timing, esophagitis is not a primary concern with food, and nausea is not the main reason for the timing.
