Parents demonstrate that they understand the nurse's teaching with regard to prevention of iron-deficiency anemia if they:
 
  1. Feed their infant with a formula that is not iron-fortified.
  2. Start iron-fortified infant cereal at 46 months of age.
  3. Introduce cow's milk when the child is 6 months old.
  4. Limit vitamin C consumption after 1 year of age.

Rationale:
