Question 1 of 5
The nurse provides instructions to a new mother who is about to breastfeed her newborn infant. The nurse observes the new mother as she breastfeeds for the first time and determines the mother needs further teaching if the new mother applies which technique?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The mother should avoid tilting up the nipple or squeezing the areola and pushing it into the newborn's mouth, as this can lead to improper latch or difficulties with milk flow. Turning the newborn on his side facing the mother, drawing the newborn onto the breast when the mouth opens, and breaking suction with a clean finger are appropriate breastfeeding techniques.
