A nurse in a pediatric clinic is caring for a child who has iron deficiency anemia and a new prescription for ferrous sulfate tablets. Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide the parents regarding administration of this medication?

A. Administering iron at bedtime may not be ideal as it can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and should be monitored. B. Giving ferrous sulfate with orange juice is recommended because vitamin C enhances the absorption of iron, making the treatment more effective. C. Milk can inhibit the absorption of iron, so it should not be given with iron supplements. D. While administering at mealtimes can help with tolerance, it’s more effective to give it with vitamin C for better absorption.
