Question 2
Marks: 1/1
The postpartal client develops breast engorgement and asks for advice concerning breastfeeding. The
nurse should tell the client to:
Choose one answer.
a. Get an antibiotic from the physician and start the baby on bottle feedings
b. Start to wean the baby from the breast to reduce pain
c. Pump her breasts and wear a loose fitting bra to suppress milk production
d. Breastfeed often because this will keep the breasts empty and reduce pain
This will fade as the infant sucks and empties the breasts of milk. Some mothers find that warm packs
applied for about 20 minutes before feeding afford the most relief. In addition, good breast support
from a firm fitting bra prevents a pulling and heavy feeling.
