Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: Foods containing ascorbic acid will increase the absorption of iron. Calcium and phosphorus in milk and tannin in tea decrease iron absorption. Coffee binds iron and prevents it from being fully absorbed. Orange juice is the only item that contains ascorbic acid and will in-crease the absorption of iron supplements.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: Pyelonephritis is most commonly caused by entry of bacteria, obstruction, or reflux. Risk factors associated with pyelonephritis include diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic renal calculi, chronic cystitis, overuse of analgesics, structural abnormalities of the urinary tract, presence of urinary stones, and indwelling or frequent urinary catheterization.
