Which action by the parents demonstrates an understanding of the nurse's teaching with regard to prevention of iron-deficient anemia?
1. Feeding their infant with a formula that is not iron fortified
2. Starting iron-fortified infant cereal at 4 to 6 months of age
3. Introducing cow's milk at 6 months of age
4. Limiting vitamin C consumption after 1 year of age
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Starting iron-fortified infant cereal at 4 to 6 months of age is recommended for prevention of iron deficiency in children. Infants who are not breast-fed should get iron-fortified formula. Cow's milk should not be introduced until 12 months of age. Vitamin C should be started at 6 to 9 months of age and continued, because foods rich in vitamin C improve iron absorption.
