Take your medication with a glass of milk instead of water.

Decrease your intake of meat and green leafy vegetables.

Drink acidic juices with the medication to help with absorption.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. Ferrous sulfate does not aid in vitamin B12 absorption; vitamin B12 requires intrinsic factor for absorption in the ileum.

B. Milk contains calcium, which can inhibit iron absorption, making it a poor choice for administration.

C. Meat and green leafy vegetables are high in iron, and their intake should not be reduced as they help maintain iron levels.

D. Acidic juices (such as orange juice) enhance iron absorption by keeping iron in its more soluble ferrous form.
