Question 1 of 5

While assessing the breastfeeding mother 24 hours postdelivery, the nurse notes that the client’s breasts are hard and painful. Which interventions should be implemented by the nurse? Select all that apply.

Correct Answer: B,D,F

Rationale: Moving the baby from the initial breast to the second breast during the feeding, before the initial breast is completely emptied, may result in neither breast being totally emptied and thus promote continued engorgement. Because engorgement is caused, in part, by swelling of the breast tissue surrounding the milk gland ducts, applying ice at intervals between feedings will help to decrease this swelling. Giving supplemental formula, thus limiting the time the baby nurses at the breast, prevents total emptying of the breast and promotes increased engorgement. Administering anti-inflammatory medication will decrease breast pain and inflammation. Because heat application increases blood flow, moist heat packs would exacerbate the engorgement. Pumping the breasts may be necessary if the infant is unable to completely empty both breasts at each feeding. Pumping at this time will not cause a problematic increase in breast milk production.
