Question

After instructing a primiparous client who is breast-feeding on how to prevent nipple soreness during feedings, the nurse determines that the client needs further instruction when she states which of the following?"I should position the baby the same way for each feeding."

Answer 1

Answer: "I should position the baby the same way for each feeding."

Explanation:

Primiparous is a woman who has given birth to a child for the first time. The nipple soreness may occur when the milk leaks out from the breast without sucking. This may occur due to many reasons like poor breastfeeding latch, the infection in breast and maybe because of improper use of breast pump. This can lead to low breast milk supply to the fetus or weaning may occur.

The primiparous mother is expected to change the position for breastfeeding each time so that optimum position is achieved. Every time the same position and angle will not lead to efficient breastfeeding thus alignment is a must.
