A pregnant woman is diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia and is prescribed an iron supplement.
After teaching her about her prescribed iron supplement, which statement indicates successful teaching?.
"I should avoid drinking orange juice.”.
"I need to eat foods high in fiber.”.
"I should take my iron with milk.”.
"I'll call the primary care provider if my stool is black and tarry.”.
The Correct Answer is B
Choice A rationale:
Orange juice enhances iron absorption and should not be avoided.
Choice B rationale:
Eating foods high in fiber can prevent constipation, a side effect of iron supplements.
Choice C rationale:
Iron should not be taken with milk as it inhibits iron absorption.
Choice D rationale:
Black, tarry stools are a common side effect of iron supplements and are not usually a concern.
So, the correct answer is B. “I need to eat foods high in fiber.”.
