Answer to Question 1

Iron can cause dark green or black stools. The patient should report constipation, diarrhea, nau-sea, or abdominal pain to the health care provider.

Answer to Question 2

Liquid preparations of iron can discolor teeth and should be taken through a straw after dilution with liquids. Absorption of oral iron is inhibited by antacids, milk, and eggs. The liquid prepara-tion of Feosol cannot be mixed with juice.
