Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor for an increased absorption of iron in the client due to the interaction of ascorbic acid with the iron preparation. An increase in seizure activity may occur when folic acid is administered with the hydantoins. Signs of folate deficiency may occur when sulfasalazine is administered concurrently. Vitamin B12 deficiency is a rare deficiency caused by a low dietary intake.
