If a patient has anaemia, what should be explained along with iron?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Food habits that affect iron absorption
Option A is correct because the amount of iron absorbed depends not only on the iron content of food but also on the meal pattern. Vitamin C can enhance absorption of non-haem iron, whereas tea or coffee taken close to meals and some inhibitors may reduce it. Advice should also consider the cause of anaemia and any prescribed supplement.
