It is safe and appropriate to administer tocolytic therapy to a client who is experiencing preterm labor at 26 weeks of gestation (option B) to help delay delivery and give time for other interventions to be initiated, such as administration of corticosteroids for fetal lung maturation and transfer to a facility with a NICU if necessary. The goal is to prevent premature birth and its associated complications.

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The best indication that correct attachment to the breast has occurred is when the baby's mouth covers most of the areolar surface. This is important because proper latch and attachment are crucial for effective breastfeeding. When the baby's mouth covers most of the areola, it ensures that the baby is latched onto the breast properly, allowing them to feed efficiently and receive an adequate amount of milk. This also helps prevent nipple soreness and pain for the mother. Additionally, when the baby's mouth covers most of the areola, it helps ensure that the baby is positioned correctly to effectively stimulate milk production and flow.
