Rationale
The nutritional needs of a newborn di
ff
er per their age and body weight.
A 2-day-old newborn would require around 60 to 80 mL/kg of fluid per
day. The amount of carbohydrates, protein, and fat is not information
that is required for a 2-day-old newborn.

Which information is important to consider when providing
supplemental feedings to a newborn?
"At least 95 g of carbohydrate is needed per day."
"A minimum of 8 g of protein is required in a day."
"Around 25 g of fat is needed every day."
Infant formula milk is the best option for supplemental feeding.
Bottles used for supplemental feeding must have a fast-flow
nipple.
Infants with hyperglycemia must be given supplemental
feedings.
Supplemental feeding is given to the baby if the mother is on
medications that a

Rationale
If the mother is on medication that a
ff
ects lactogenesis, then the infant
can be given supplemental feedings. Expressed breast milk is the best
option for supplemental feeding instead of infant formula. Bottles used
for supplemental feeding must have a slow-flow nipple. Infants with
hypoglycemia, dehydration, and weight loss can be given supplemental
feedings in addition to breastfeeding.

Which client action might lead to an infant avoiding
latching on to the breast?
Rationale
Clients with a Mexican cultural background often provide both breast
milk and formula to their infants. This practice may result in problems
with milk production and infants refusing to latch on to the breast. This
may also eventually lead to early termination of breastfeeding. Clients
The client breastfeeds the infant at scheduled times only.
The client gives honey to the infant before breastfeeding.
The client stopped making skin-to-skin contact with the infant.
The client has been feeding the infant both formula and breast
milk.

belonging to Western cultures may prefer to feed infants at scheduled
times. However, feeding the baby at scheduled times will not hinder the
ability of the infant to latch on to the nipples. Some cultures feed infants
honey in the belief that it helps the child excrete meconium; this does
not hinder the infant’s ability to latch on to the nipples. Avoiding skin-
to-skin contact with the baby will reduce bonding between the mother
and child, and it a
ff
ects thermoregulation in the infant. It does not
hinder the infant’s ability to latch.
Test-Taking Tip:
If you are unable to answer a multiple-choice question
immediately, eliminate the alternatives that you know are incorrect and
proceed from that point. The same goes for a multiple-response
question that requires you to choose two or more of the given
alternatives. If a fill-in-the-blank question poses a problem, read the
situation and essential information carefully, and then formulate your
response.

Which infant cue is associated with an increased volume of
breast milk? Select all that apply. One, some, or all
responses may be correct.

2/14/24, 1:39 PM
Rationale
An increased volume of breast milk makes the infant’s urine more
dilute. The urine becomes light yellow. An increased milk volume can
also be identified by the color of the infant’s meconium. It changes from
black, thick, and sticky to green, thinner, and less sticky as the milk
volume increases. The audible sound of swallowing reflects e
ff
ective
breastfeeding and adequate volume of breast milk. An increased volume
of breast milk does not a

identified by observing the infant’s sleeping pattern.

Which breastfeeding position would the nurse recommend
for a postpartum client who reports severe pain after a
cesarean delivery?

2/14/24, 1:39 PM
Rationale
The football or clutch hold position is suitable for the client who gave
birth by cesarean delivery. This position prevents pressure on the
abdomen and reduces strain on the abdominal sutures. If the client
complains of severe pain after vaginal delivery, the side-lying position
may be indicated. This position enables the client to rest while feeding.
The cradle hold and across-the-lap hold are suitable for the infant who
is accustomed to feeding and has e
ff
ective latching. The modified cradle
hold is suitable for neonates and during early feedings.
Test-Taking Tip:
Look for answers that focus on the client or are directed
toward feelings.

After the infant’s birth, breastfeeding is the first priority because the
mother’s first milk is rich in antibodies
, and improves the infant’s
immunity and reduces the child’s risk of infection. Iron
supplementation, weighing the infant, and administering a vitamin K
injection do not prevent infection in the newborn.

Which definition describes tandem feeding?
Rationale
Tandem feeding involves a mother who nurses both an infant and an
older child. Nutritional stores, using both breasts to nurse the baby, and
supplementation are not concepts of tandem feeding.
Test-Taking Tip:
Being prepared reduces your stress or tension level and
helps you maintain a positive attitude.

Which nursing intervention helps promote early passage of
meconium in the infant?
Rationale
Colostrum is a clear, yellowish fluid that is rich in antibiotics and high in
proteins. The fluid also has laxative traits. Therefore, feeding the infant
colostrum promotes early passage of meconium. A vitamin K injection
prevents hemorrhagic problems, but it does not promote early passage
of meconium. Kangaroo care prevents hypothermia and enhances milk
production. The nurse would instruct the mother to feed the infant
colostrum immediately after birth rather than feeding the infant
unmodified cow’s milk.

Which medication would the nurse expect to be ordered for
a lactating client who experiences cramps after
breastfeeding?
Rationale
The lactating mother likely has afterpains caused by breastfeeding.
Nonopioid analgesic medicine such as ibuprofen is often prescribed to
relieve pain in lactating clients. Fluoxetine is not prescribed to lactating
clients; it is excreted in the breast milk and poses potential risks to the
infant. Oxycodone is considered less desirable because it is excreted in
breast milk and can lead to central nervous system depression in the
infant. Hydrocodone is not prescribed to the lactating client because it
may cause neonatal sedation.
Test-Taking Tip:
Answer the question that is asked. Read the situation
and the question carefully, looking for key words or phrases. Do not
read anything into the question or apply what you did in a similar
situation during one of your clinical experiences. Think of each question
as being an ideal, yet realistic, situation.

Which situation would require the mother to seek
assistance with breastfeeding?
Rationale
If the infant takes time to latch and is having di
ffi
culty latching, the
mother must seek assistance for lactation. The breasts feel softer and
lighter after an e
ff
ective breastfeeding session. It is also a sign of
e
ff
ective breastfeeding if the mother experiences drowsiness during
feeding and feels thirsty more often. Increased uterine cramping in the
mother during breastfeeding is a normal finding.

Which assessment finding would the nurse recognize as
indicating a problem with latching?
Rationale
If the mother feels severe pain in her nipple
, it indicates the infant is
unable to properly suck the milk and the infant may have di
ffi
culty
feeding. If the infant’s cheeks are rounded but not dimpled while
feeding, then it indicates e
ff
ective latching. If the infant’s jaw glides
smoothly while sucking, it indicates that the infant is able to properly
latch on to the nipples. It is usually audible when a breastfeeding infant
swallows, because sucking creates a vacuum in the intraoral cavity as the
breast is compressed. Audible swallowing indicates e
ff
ective feeding.

Which reason explains the rationale for placing a full-term
infant on the postpartum client’s bare chest after delivery?

11 of 32
2/14/24, 1:39 PM
Rationale
Early skin-to-skin contact promotes breastfeeding and helps prevent
hypothermia in the newborn. The mother would not recognize the
infant’s hunger cues simply because the infant is on her chest.
Rooming-in helps the client initiate breastfeeding and recognize the
newborn’s hunger cues. Pulmonary development in the full-term
newborn occurs in the mother’s womb, not after birth. Symptoms like
anxiety and restlessness are common in every postpartum client.
Placing the infant on the client’s chest facilitates bonding between the
client and the infant but may not reduce the client’s anxiety and
restlessness.

Rationale
Skin-to-skin contact (kangaroo care) promotes temperature regulation
and prevents hypothermia in the infant. Jaundice is caused by an
increase in bilirubin levels in the infant’s body. Skin-to-skin contact does
not help reduce the risk of jaundice. Galactosemia is an inherited
disorder. Skin-to-skin contact does not help reduce the risk of
galactosemia. Skin contact between the infant and the mother would
not help to combat fluid loss in the infant.
Test-Taking Tip:
Avoid taking a wild guess at an answer. However,
should you feel insecure about a question, eliminate the alternatives
that you believe are definitely incorrect, and reread the information
given to make sure you understand the intent of the question. This
approach increases your chances of randomly selecting the correct
answer or getting a clearer understanding of what is being asked.
Although there is no penalty for guessing, the subsequent question will
be based, to an extent, on the response you give to the question at
hand; that is, if you answer a question incorrectly, the computer will
adapt the next question accordingly based on your knowledge and skill
performance on the examination up to that point.

For which reason would the nurse suggest that a client
stimulate her baby’s lips with her nipple while
breastfeeding?
Rationale
While breastfeeding, the client would stimulate the baby’s lips with her
nipple to prompt wide opening of the mouth so that the baby can easily
latch. Inserting a finger at the side of the baby’s mouth would help
break the suction and prevent nipple trauma. Stimulating the lips would
not encourage the infant to swallow the milk. If breastfeeding is painful,
then the nurse would help the client evaluate the feeding position and
the latch.

14 of 32
2/14/24, 1:39 PM
Rationale
The client with herpes simplex lesions should avoid direct breastfeeding
of the newborn. The herpes simplex virus spreads through oral contact
and is most contagious when lesions are present. Thalassemia is an
inherited condition that a
ff
ects the baby’s ability to produce healthy
hemoglobin. Thalassemia does not a
ff
ect breastfeeding. Mothers of
preterm infants are encouraged to breastfeed their babies. A client with
acute chlamydia infection is still able to safely breastfeed her newborn.
Test-Taking Tip:
Because few things in life are absolute without
exceptions, avoid selecting answers that include words such as always,
never, all, every,
and none
. Answers containing these key words are
rarely correct.

Clients with
human T-cell lymphotropic virus infection
should not
breastfeed or give expressed milk to infants because it increases the risk
of infection in the infants. Clients with herpes simplex infection
temporarily cannot breastfeed or give expressed breast milk to their
infant. Clients with active tuberculosis should not breastfeed their baby
but can give expressed breast milk. Temporary separation of mother and
infant is required in the acute H1N1 infection condition. The H1N1-
infected client can give expressed milk to the infant because it does not
cause any health complications.

Weaning should proceed from breast to bottle to cup.
The feeding of most interest should be eliminated first.
Abrupt weaning is easier than gradual weaning.
Weaning can be mother or infant initiated.
Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing - Quiz performance
https://eaqng.elsevier.com/#/quizPerformance/52227030
16 of 32
2/14/24, 1:39 PM
Rationale
Weaning is initiated by the mother or the infant. With infant-led
weaning, the infant moves at his or her own pace to eliminate feedings,
which leads to a gradual decrease in the mother’s milk supply. Mother-
led weaning means that the mother decides which feedings to drop.
Infants can be weaned directly from the breast to a cup. Bottles are
usually o
ff
ered to infants younger than 6 months of age. If the infant is
weaned before 1 year of age, iron-fortified formula rather than cow’s
milk should be o
ff
ered. The feeding of least interest to the baby or the
one through which the infant is likely to sleep should be eliminated
first. Every few days thereafter, the mother would drop another feeding.
Gradual weaning over a period of weeks or months is easier for both the
mother and the infant than an abrupt weaning.
Test-Taking Tip:
Do not panic while taking an examination! Panic will
only increase your anxiety. Stop for a moment, close your eyes, take a
few deep breaths, and resume review of the question.

https://eaqng.elsevier.com/#/quizPerformance/52227030
17 of 32
2/14/24, 1:39 PM
Rationale
Although there is no wrong position for breastfeeding, the nurse may
suggest a semi-reclining position, with the newborn lying prone to the
mother’s chest, for initial feeding. In this position, the mother’s body
supports the baby, and the mother may feel more relaxed. Moreover,
this position may help reduce nipple pain in the new mother. In this
position, the mother has more freedom of movement to use her hands.
The cradling position is common for infants who have learned to latch
easily and feed e
ff
ectively. Clients with perineal pain mostly prefer the
side-lying position because it allows the mother to rest while
breastfeeding. Clients who have undergone cesarean delivery often
prefer the clutch-hold position.

Rationale
Overly concentrated powdered formula
would provide excess amounts
of protein and minerals. Because infants have immature kidneys, overly
concentrated powdered formula would impede the infant’s filtration
ability. Inadequate weight gain is associated with overly diluted formula.
Overly concentrated powdered formula would not result in
hypoglycemia in the infant. Hyponatremia can result from overly diluted
formula.

younger than 2 years of age because it carries a risk of botulism.
Carbohydrates obtained from breast milk promote the development of
microflora in the infant’s intestinal tract. Breast milk increases the
infant’s resistance to gastrointestinal illness. Honey does not have
antiemetic action and would not help prevent nausea and vomiting.
Honey does not have anticoagulant properties and would not prevent
hemorrhage. Administering a vitamin K injection to the infant after
birth would prevent hemorrhagic problems.
Test-Taking Tip:
Come to your test prep with a positive attitude about
yourself, your nursing knowledge, and your test-taking abilities. A
positive attitude is achieved through self-confidence gained by e
ff

study. This means (a) answering questions (assessment), (b) organizing
study time (planning), (c) reading and further study (implementation),
and (d) answering questions (evaluation).

Which rationale would lead the nurse to advise a
postpartum client to breastfeed regularly to lower the risk of
postpartum hemorrhage?
Rationale
Breast milk production follows the supply-meets-demand system. The
more the client breastfeeds the infant, the greater the demand for
production. This in turn increases the production of oxytocin

Which action by a parent would the nurse interpret as
demonstrating an appropriate understanding of safe
feeding practices for an infant receiving concentrated
formula?
Rationale
Washing the top of the can
and can opener with soap and water before
opening the can of formula is a good habit for parents to get into to
prevent contamination. Directions on the can for dilution should be
followed exactly and not adjusted according to weight gain to prevent
nutritional and fluid imbalances. Honey is not necessary and could
contain botulism spores. The formula should be warmed in a container
of hot water because a microwave can easily overheat it.
p. 559
Wash the top of the can and can opener with soap and water
before opening the can.
Adjust the amount of water added according to the weight gain
pattern of the newborn.
Add some honey to sweeten the formula and make it more
appealing to a fussy newborn.
Warm formula in a microwave oven for a couple of minutes
before feeding.

Which breastfeeding position would the nurse recommend
for a very small infant?
Rationale
Placing the breastfeeding infant across the lap (modified cradle hold) is
convenient for the client if the baby is small. The cradle hold is advised
only when the infant easily latches onto the breast. Women with
perineal pain are advised to use the side-lying position while
breastfeeding their infant because it allows the client to rest. The
football position is advised if the client cannot see her baby’s mouth.

Rationale
Whichever position is used, the infant is skin to skin. The football
position usually is preferred after cesarean delivery. Women with
perineal pain and swelling prefer the side-lying position because they
can rest while breastfeeding. The infant inevitably faces the mother,
belly to belly. The mother should never push on the back of the head. It
may cause the baby to bite, hyperextend the neck, or develop an
aversion to being brought near the breast.
Test-Taking Tip:
If the question asks for an immediate action or
response, all of the answers may be correct, so base your selection on
identified priorities for action.

cesarean delivery.
Women with perineal pain and swelling prefer the modified
cradle position.
Whichever position is used, the infant is “skin to skin” with the
mother.
While supporting the head, the mother should push gently on
the occiput.

Which guidance would the nurse provide a postpartum
client before initiating breastfeeding?
Rationale
Spreading a few drops of expressed milk on the nipple facilitates
lubrication and enables the baby to open his or her mouth easily. The
nurse would instruct the client to insert both the nipple and areola of
the breast into the baby’s mouth. This practice ensures good latching
and less pain and discomfort in the mother. The mother need not start
giving bottle milk until breastfeeding is established. The breasts should
be supported su
ffi
ciently to promote e
ff
ective latching and positioning
of the infant.
Test-Taking Tip:
Avoid selecting answers that state hospital rules or
regulations as a reason or rationale for action.

"Express a few drops of milk on the nipple."
"Insert only the nipple into the infant’s mouth."
“First give milk in the feeding bottle to the infant.”
"Do not give any additional support to your breasts."

Which education would the nurse provide a postpartum
client about o
ff
ering water to her 1-month-old infant after
breastfeeding?
Rationale
Breast milk
is the best source of fluid for the infant, because it contains
87% water. Breast milk meets the infant’s fluid needs. Neonates have
fluid reserves during birth, which are depleted in a few days. Infants do
have fluctuations in fluid balance, which would be monitored regularly
by the nurse. Taking additional water decreases the infant’s caloric
consumption.
Test-Taking Tip:
Make certain that the answer you select is reasonable
and obtainable under ordinary circumstances and that the action can be
carried out in the given situation.
p. 532
The breast milk contains enough water to hydrate the child.
The infant has su
ffi
cient fluid reserves, which prevents
dehydration.
The infant does not have any fluctuations in fluid balance.
The infant’s calorie consumption is increased by excess water.
