Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Iron is a substance frequently ingested by children because of the pill's candy-like appearance and the fact that many adults do not take the same precautions with vitamins as they do with other medications. The other options are false.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Antacids and food decrease the ability for iron to be absorbed by the gastric lining. Ascorbic acid enhances absorption.
