    A nurse is planning a diet for a client who is iron deficient. Which of the following foods high in iron should the nurse include in the plan?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Cashews contain some iron but are not the highest source compared to red meat. B. Oranges are high in vitamin C but low in iron; they can help with iron absorption when consumed with iron-rich foods. C. Yogurt provides calcium and protein but is not a significant source of iron. D. Red meat is an excellent source of heme iron, which is more easily absorbed by the body than non-heme iron found in plant foods.
