When conducting diet teaching for a client who was diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia, which food(s) should the nurse encourage the client to eat? Select all that apply.

Alcohol (ethanol), orange juice, seeds.

Spinach, kale, collard greens.

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

A. Whole wheat bread. Whole wheat bread is not typically high in tyramine and is generally considered a healthy choice. It is unlikely to contribute to migraine headaches triggered by tyramine.
B. Chicken. Chicken is a lean protein source and is not typically associated with high tyramine content. It is unlikely to trigger migraine headaches in individuals sensitive to tyramine.
C. Hard salami. Hard salami is a processed meat product that is high in tyramine and other biogenic amines, which can trigger migraine headaches in susceptible individuals. Eliminating hard salami from the diet may help reduce the occurrence of headaches.
D. Cherries. Cherries are not typically associated with high tyramine content and are often considered beneficial for health due to their antioxidant properties. They are unlikely to trigger migraine headaches in individuals sensitive to tyramine.

A. Recommend an increase in caloric intake to avoid excessive weight loss. B. Reassure the parents that increased physical activity reduces the risk for diabetes. C. Suggest a less strenuous activity to reduce the risk for dehydration. D. Instruct the family about the need to adjust the insulin dose before exercise.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Recommend an increase in caloric intake to avoid excessive weight loss. While regular physical activity can increase caloric expenditure, it is not typically associated with excessive weight loss, especially in children. Prediabetes management focuses on lifestyle changes such as increased physical activity and healthy eating habits rather than increasing caloric intake.
B. Reassure the parents that increased physical activity reduces the risk for diabetes. Regular physical activity is beneficial for individuals with prediabetes as it improves insulin sensitivity, helps control weight, and reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
C. Suggest a less strenuous activity to reduce the risk for dehydration. Soccer can be a physically demanding sport, but proper hydration practices can help prevent dehydration. Encouraging the child to drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after soccer practice or games can help
maintain hydration levels.

D. Instruct the family about the need to adjust the insulin dose before exercise. Prediabetes typically does not require insulin therapy. However, if the child progresses to diabetes and requires insulin, adjustments to insulin doses may be necessary to prevent hypoglycemia during exercise, but this is not relevant to the current scenario.
