The nurse teaches the client interventions to reduce folic acid-deficiency anemia and determines the teaching was understood a few weeks later when the client states:
1. "I've stopped drinking alcohol."
2. "I am eating a banana every day."
3. "I will agree to take the B12 injection."
4. "I am taking my vitamins with iron."

Rationale: Alcohol interferes with folic acid absorption and metabolism, so the client who stopped drinking alcohol understood the nurse's teaching. The other options would not relate to folic acid deficiency.
