I will rate for the corect answer. Thanks!

Jessica had never paid attention to her iron intake, until her blood results came back and her hemoglobin was low. The doctor asked her some questions about recent blood loss and heavy menstrual bleeding, but she did not have any. So, it looks like Jessica's iron intake is low and she needs to take better care of her iron needs. She does not want to take the supplements just yet, and her doctor agrees that making better food choices and monitoring her iron intake, followed by a new blood test, is the way to go for the next few months Here is what Jessica planned to eat today and the amounts of iron these foods contain 1 cup of rolled oats -1.8 mg 1 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice -0.5 ng Bowl of cream of broccoli- 0.7 mg Barbequed beef brisket - 3.3 mg Medium baked potato with sour cream and cheese - - 2.7 mg Corn on the cob 0.4 mg Check if Jessica's iron intake is adequate for her need:s Part A-Calculating Iron Intake How much heme and how much non-heme iron did Jessica consume?

She did not want to add more meat to her diet, so she was working only with non-heme iron sources. She was overjoyed to find out that dark chocolate is an "iron bomb," and she has finally found the excuse to indulge her sweet, or in fact semisweet, tooth She has exchanged a bowl of broccoli cream soup (0.7 g) for iron-rich lentil soup (4.2 mg), and she has added 3 pieces of Trader Joe's dark Belgian chocolate (7.2 ng) and a cup of cranberry juice (0.7 mg) for a dessert. What is Jessica's total iron intake on the adjusted, iron-rich diet? Round the answer to the first decimal place View Available Hint(s) ng Submit

Explanation / Answer

Part A

Heme iron intake = 3.3 mg (Only iron from meat, poultry, seafood, and fish is heme iron)

Non-heme iron intake = 1.8 + 0.5 + 0.7 + 2.7 + 0.4 = 6.1 mg

Part B

Non-heme iron intake on adjusted diet = 1.8 + 0.5 + 4.2 + 2.7 + 0.4 + 7.2 + 0.7 = 17.5 mg

Heme iron intake = 3.3 mg

Total iron intake = 17.5 + 3.3 = 20.8 mg
