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-to-drug interaction with iron.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The most common cause of iron deficiency anemia in adolescent females is heavy periods, so asking about menses is an appropriate first question when evaluating the cause of low iron in young females. Iron deficiency only rarely occurs because of poor dietary intake. Although pregnancy is not unheard of in 12-year-old girls, a question about possible pregnancy should not be the first question asked.
