Milk, ice cream, buttermilk.

Beans, brown rice, apricots.

Salted nuts, corn, oranges.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : B,D

A. Alcohol (ethanol), orange juice, seeds. Alcohol should be avoided, but orange juice is high in vitamin C, which can enhance iron absorption. However, seeds are not a significant source of
iron.

B. Spinach, kale, collard greens. These dark leafy greens are rich in non-heme iron, which is beneficial for someone with iron-deficiency anemia.

C.   Milk, ice cream, buttermilk. These dairy products contain little to no iron and can actually inhibit iron absorption due to their calcium content.

D.   Beans, brown rice, apricots. Beans are a good source of iron, brown rice provides some iron, and apricots are also a good source of iron, making these foods beneficial for iron-deficiency anemia.
E.   Salted nuts, corn, oranges. Salted nuts and corn are not particularly high in iron, although oranges are good for vitamin C, which helps with iron absorption. However, the focus should be on iron-rich foods directly.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

B. Lettuce and tomato salad. While nutritious, this salad is low in sodium and would not help in correcting hyponatremia.
C. Ham and cheese sandwich. Ham and cheese are both high in sodium, making this sandwich a suitable choice for someone needing to increase their sodium levels to address hyponatremia.

D. Fruit salad with bananas. Fruit salads are generally low in sodium, and while bananas are nutritious, they do not provide the needed sodium for someone with hyponatremia.
