Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching about dietary recommendations to a client who has iron deficiency anemia. Which of the following dietary recommendations should the nurse include as a food that enhances iron absorption when consumed with nonheme iron?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D:
Tomato juice.
Tomato juice contains vitamin C, which enhances the absorption of nonheme iron. Vitamin C helps to convert nonheme iron into a more absorbable form, increasing the body's ability to take in iron from plant-based sources. Tea (
A) contains compounds that can inhibit iron absorption. Dried beans (
B) contain phytates that can reduce iron absorption. Milk (
