Question 1 of 5
The nurse is teaching the postpartum client, who is breastfeeding, about returning to sexual activity after vaginal delivery. Which statement should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Oxytocin is released when the client has an orgasm and may cause breast milk to leak or squirt from the breasts. The production of breast milk may increase, not decrease. The nurse should inform the client that she may need lubrication with sexual intercourse because the low estrogen levels in the early postpartum period causes vaginal dryness. Women should refrain from sexual intercourse until lochia has ceased, which usually takes about 3 weeks. There is no need to wait two months if the lochia has ceased. The client’s HCP does not need to give approval to return to sexual activity.
