A pregnant client seen in the prenatal clinic tells the nurse that the iron supplement started 1 week ago is causing nausea, constipation, and heartburn and that she would like to stop taking the medication. the nurse responds that: A. For a few days, stop taking iron supplements, increase your physical activity, increase your fluid intake, and eat high-fiber, low-iron foods until the constipation is gone. Then, start taking iron supplements again.
B. Increase fluid intake, eat more high-fiber meals, and move more. Take an iron supplement every other day.
C. Take extra iron supplements, drink more water, eat more high-fiber meals, and exercise more.
D. Keep taking iron supplements, but drink more water, eat more high-fiber meals, and work out more.
Constipation is a typical adverse reaction to iron supplements. Because she has anaemia, she needs to take more iron supplements and drink more fluids and fibre to avoid constipation from the iron preparations. Even for a few days, the nurse shouldn't suggest that the client cease taking her iron supplements. The client shouldn't be advised by the nurse to take her iron supplements more frequently or every other day. Depending on the client's hematologic condition, the primary care physician will recommend these supplements.
