Question 1 of 5
The nurse is providing discharge education for a client who will be taking ferrous sulfate orally. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Ferrous sulfate does not aid in vitamin B12 absorption; vitamin B12 requires intrinsic factor for absorption in the ileum. Milk contains calcium, which can inhibit iron absorption, making it a poor choice for administration. Meat and green leafy vegetables are high in iron, and their intake should not be reduced as they help maintain iron levels. Acidic juices (such as orange juice) enhance iron absorption by keeping iron in its more soluble ferrous form.
