A mother of an 18-month-old toddler asks the nurse about the diet of her baby. The nurse learned that the baby has iron deficiency anemia. The nurse should suggest:
  1. a cup of grapes
  2. a slice of pumpkin pie
  3. slices of whole apple
  4. bread pudding with raisins
Explanation
Answer: D - The nurse should suggest bread pudding with raisins. This provides iron and protein; in addition, it can be eaten with spoon which encourages mastery of fine motor muscle. Pumpkin has iron but has spicy taste. A cup of grapes will be difficult to finish for such a young individual.
