Iron is more readily absorbed in an acidic environment (gastric juices) but since omeprazole can decrease the gastric acid produced, it is good to take vitamin C (ascorbic acid) when taking an iron supplement (both of which should be if advised by your physician) or one can simply take a vitamin C supplement if taking omeprazole when no iron supplement is needed (as would be in the case of iron deficiency anemia which is determined by a blood test).

Why should a nurse advise a client to take and iron supplement with orange juice?
A nurse should advise a client to take an iron supplement with orange juice because vitamin C enhances the absorption of non-heme iron, which is the type found in supplements and plant-based foods. The acidity of orange juice helps convert iron into a more absorbable form in the digestive system. Additionally, the taste of orange juice can help mask the metallic flavor of the iron supplement, making it more palatable for the client.
