A nurse is instructing a group of clients about nutrition and eating foods high in iron. The nurse should include that which of the following aids in the absorption of iron?

Vitamin C

Oxalates

Fiber

Vitamin A

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. Vitamin C enhances the absorption of non-heme iron from plant-based sources by converting iron to a more absorbable form. Including vitamin C-rich foods with iron-rich meals can improve iron uptake.
B. Oxalates, found in foods like spinach and rhubarb, can inhibit iron absorption by binding to iron and reducing its availability.
C. Fiber, while beneficial for digestive health, does not enhance iron absorption and can, in some cases, inhibit it by binding to minerals.
D. Vitamin A does not have a direct role in the absorption of iron, though it is essential for overall health.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. A JP drain is not used for medication administration; its purpose is to remove fluid from the wound area.

B. The primary purpose of a JP drain is to prevent fluid from accumulating in the wound, which helps reduce the risk of infection and promotes healing by allowing continuous drainage of postoperative fluids.

C. While a JP drain helps manage fluid accumulation, it does not eliminate the need for wound irrigations if prescribed as part of the care plan.

D. A JP drain helps manage excess fluid but is not specifically designed to limit bleeding from the surgical site. Bleeding control is generally managed through other measures and monitoring.

A. "Because I'm dark-complected, I won't have to worry about skin cancer." B. "I used to lie in the sun all the time, but now I know the tanning bed is a better option." C. "My father was treated for melanoma, but skin cancer isn't related to genetics." D. "I should apply sunscreen prior to going outside, even in the winter months."

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. This statement is incorrect. While darker skin may have some natural protection against UV radiation, it does not eliminate the risk of skin cancer. All skin types are at risk, and protection is necessary.

B. This statement is incorrect. Tanning beds are a known risk factor for skin cancer and are not a safer alternative to sun exposure. Both contribute to skin damage and increase cancer risk.

C. This statement is incorrect. Skin cancer, including melanoma, can have a genetic component, and a family history of skin cancer increases an individual's risk.

D. This statement is correct. Sunscreen should be applied year-round, even in winter, as UV radiation can still affect the skin. This practice helps to protect against skin cancer and sun damage.
