A nurse is instructing a group of clients about nutrition and eating foods high in iron. The nurse should include that which of the following aids in the absorption of iron?
Correct Answer: A

C) doesn't directly affect iron absorption. Fiber (choice
B) and oxalates (choice
D) can actually inhibit iron absorption by binding to iron and limiting its uptake.
Therefore, Vitamin C is the best choice for aiding in the absorption of iron among the options provided.
