A parent tells a nurse that her toddler drinks 32 oz of milk a day and has a poor appetite for solid foods. The nurse should explain that the toddle is at risk for which of the following disorders?

A. Diabetes mellitus is not typically associated with excessive milk consumption in toddlers, but it is important to monitor the child's overall health. B. Obesity could be a concern with excessive milk intake if the child is consuming more calories than necessary, but the primary concern here is iron deficiency anemia due to limited solid food intake. C. Iron deficiency anemia is a concern because milk lacks iron, and the toddler's reduced appetite for solid foods means the child is not consuming enough iron-rich foods to meet their nutritional needs. D. Rickets is typically associated with vitamin D deficiency, not directly with milk intake. Though milk is a source of calcium, it does not prevent rickets if the child is not receiving sufficient vitamin D.
