The nurse observes a mother giving her 11-month-old ferrous sulfate (iron drops), followed by 2 ounces (60 mL) of orange juice. What should the nurse do next?

The nurse should give the mother positive feedback about the way she administered the medication. Giving the infant orange juice after administering the iron drops is a good practice because vitamin C in the orange juice can enhance the absorption of iron. The other options (A, C, and D) are not appropriate actions for the nurse to take in this situation.
