Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A A daily milk intake in toddlers of less than 24 oz will encourage the consumption
of iron-rich solid foods.
B Because food interferes with the absorption of iron, iron supplements are taken
between meals. Administering this medication with foods rich in vitamin C
facilitates absorption of iron.
C Apricots, dark-green leafy vegetables, and egg yolks are rich sources of iron.
Other iron-rich foods include liver, dried beans, Cream of Wheat, iron-fortified
cereal, and prunes.
D Iron supplements should be administered through a straw or by a medicine
dropper placed at the back of the mouth because iron temporarily stains the teeth.
