Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Coadministration of tetracycline and iron reduces absorption of both iron and tetracycline.
Cephalosporin, metronidazole, and penicillin have no significant drug-drug interaction with iron.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The most common cause of iron deficiency in adolescent females is heavy menstrual cycles.
No evidence indicates that this patient is pregnant.
Being a juvenile does not automatically put a patient at risk for iron deficiency.
No evidence indicates that celiac disease is a factor in this situation.
