A new mother who is bottle feeding says that she is happy to not have to use birth control for several months after having a baby.What should the nurse say in response?

A.

You won’t need to use it for at least 6 months.

B.

Most people don’t need it for 3 months.

C.

You might ovulate within 27 days.

D.

That’s right.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale

 

It is incorrect to say that birth control is not needed for at least six months. Ovulation can occur much sooner, and contraception should be discussed early.

 

Choice B rationale

 

Most people do not need birth control for three months is also incorrect. Ovulation can resume as early as three weeks postpartum.

 

Choice C rationale

 

Ovulation can occur within 27 days postpartum, making it important to discuss contraception early to prevent unintended pregnancies.

 

Choice D rationale

 

Agreeing with the statement is incorrect and can lead to misinformation. It is important to provide accurate information about postpartum ovulation and contraception.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Obtaining a prescription for an antibiotic is not the first recommendation for a client who is 3 days postpartum and breastfeeding with hard and warm breasts. Antibiotics are typically prescribed if there is a confirmed infection, such as mastitis, which is characterized by symptoms like fever, chills, and flu-like symptoms. In this case, the client is experiencing normal postpartum breast engorgement, which does not require antibiotics.

Choice B rationale

Expressing milk from both breasts is the correct recommendation. Breast engorgement is common in the early postpartum period as the milk comes in. Expressing milk, either by breastfeeding frequently or using a breast pump, helps to relieve the fullness, reduce discomfort, and maintain milk production.

Choice C rationale

Wearing a nipple shield is not recommended for breast engorgement. Nipple shields are typically used for issues like latch difficulties or sore nipples, not for relieving engorgement. Using a nipple shield without proper guidance can potentially interfere with milk transfer and breastfeeding success.

Choice D rationale

Applying a heating pad to the breasts is not recommended for engorgement. Heat can increase blood flow and exacerbate swelling. Instead, cold compresses or cold cabbage leaves are often recommended to reduce swelling and discomfort associated with engorgement.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Rho(D) immune globulin is not indicated if both the client and the newborn are Rh positive. There is no risk of Rh incompatibility in this scenario.

Choice B rationale

Similarly, if both the client and the newborn are Rh positive, there is no need for Rho(D) immune globulin.

Choice C rationale

If both the client and the newborn are Rh negative, there is no risk of Rh incompatibility, and Rho(D) immune globulin is not needed.

Choice D rationale

Rho(D) immune globulin is indicated when the client is Rh negative and the newborn is Rh positive. This prevents the development of Rh antibodies in the client, which could affect future pregnancies.
