Question 1 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?

A. Taking the medication between meals will help you avoid becoming constipated. B. Taking the medication with food increases the risk of esophagitis. C. Taking the medication between meals will help you absorb the medication more efficiently. D. The medication can cause nausea if taken with food.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because taking ferrous sulfate between meals enhances its absorption. Iron absorption is hindered by certain foods like dairy products and high-fiber foods, so taking it between meals ensures optimal absorption.
Choice A is incorrect because taking it between meals does not specifically prevent constipation.
Choice B is incorrect because taking it with food does not necessarily lead to esophagitis.
Choice D is incorrect because the medication causing nausea is not directly related to taking it with food.
