Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is 1 day postpartum and breastfeeding her newborn. The client reports sore nipples. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Assess the newborn's latch while breastfeeding. This is the best action to take because sore nipples in breastfeeding mothers are often caused by an improper latch. By assessing the newborn's latch, the nurse can identify any issues such as shallow latch or improper positioning that may be causing the soreness. Correcting the latch can help alleviate the discomfort and promote effective breastfeeding.

Other choices are incorrect:
A: Instructing the client to wait 4 hours between daytime feedings is not appropriate as frequent feeding is important for establishing milk supply and ensuring adequate nutrition for the newborn.
C: Having the client limit the length of breastfeeding to 5 minutes per breast may not address the root cause of sore nipples and could potentially lead to inadequate milk transfer.
D: Offering supplemental formula between feedings is not necessary and may interfere with establishing breastfeeding.
