A 6-month-old patient is admitted for iron deficiency anemia. The nurse knows that the child was put at risk for developing the illness when the mother states:
1. "I have a house that does not have lead-based paint.".
2. "He drinks milk instead of formula because it is cheaper.".
3. "I make sure to monitor the amount of juice intake.".
4. "I provide water in his bottles one time a day.".

Feedback
1. Lead-based paint can lead to lead poisoning, not anemia.
2. A 6 month old is not able to store iron. Milk is not fortified with iron, thus creating the deficiency for the child. The child should remain on formula until at least 12 months of age.
3. Juice provides empty calories and nutrients and should not be given to an infant.
4. Water should not be given to an infant because it fills the stomach, and the child does not receive the needed nutrition from the formula.
