Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting a client who is postpartum with her first breastfeeding experience. When the client asks how much of the nipple she should put into the newborn's mouth, which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A
Rationale: When assisting a client with breastfeeding, it is important to ensure proper latch. Placing the nipple, areola, and some breast tissue beyond the areola into the baby's mouth helps ensure a deep latch, which is crucial for effective breastfeeding. This technique allows the baby to properly compress the milk sinuses and receive an adequate amount of milk. It also helps prevent nipple pain and damage.
Summary:
B: Incorrect. While babies have some instinctual knowledge, proper latch is essential for effective breastfeeding.
C: Incorrect. Placing only the nipple and areola may result in shallow latch and ineffective feeding.
D: Incorrect. Assuming the baby's mouth is small can lead to improper latch and insufficient milk transfer.
