Rationale 3: Ferrous sulfate may irritate the stomach mucosa and increase bleeding in clients with peptic ulcer disease.
Rationale 4: There is no contraindication for giving ferrous sulfate to a client who experiences frequent falls.
Rationale 5: Proton pump inhibitors reduce absorption of oral iron salts.
Global Rationale: Ferrous sulfate may cause diarrhea if administered to clients with ulcerative colitis.
