Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Black, tarry stools are a common side effect of iron and the parents need not call the provider. The other statements show good understanding of iron and its administration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
All interventions are appropriate for this child. However, airway and breathing come first, so the nurse administers oxygen then starts an IV.
