    A nurse is assisting with teaching a class about medication interactions. The nurse should include that iron preparations should be administered with which of the following?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Orange juice. Orange juice is high in vitamin C, which enhances the absorption of iron in the gastrointestinal tract. B. Cheese: Dairy products, including cheese, can inhibit iron absorption due to the calcium content. C. Milk: Similar to cheese, milk contains calcium, which can interfere with the absorption of iron. D. Antacids containing magnesium: Antacids can decrease the absorption of iron, so they should not be taken together.
