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?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: C
Rationale: Taking ferrous sulfate between meals enhances absorption. Iron absorption is inhibited by certain foods like dairy products or whole grains, so taking it on an empty stomach ensures better absorption. This is crucial for treating iron-deficiency anemia effectively.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because constipation, esophagitis risk, and nausea are not directly related to meal timing but rather influenced by the medication itself.
