Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning to teach a group of clients who are about breastfeeding after returning to work. Which of the following infection should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct information for breastfeeding after returning to work is that thawed breast milk that is unused should not be refrozen. Once breast milk has been thawed, it should be used within 24 hours and should not be refrozen. This is important to prevent contamination and maintain the quality of the breast milk for the baby. The other statements provided in the options are correct guidelines regarding the storage of breast milk. Thawed breast milk can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours, breast milk can be stored in a deep freezer for up to 12 months, and breast milk can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 hours.
