A nurse is educating a client on breastfeeding positions.
Which of the following should the nurse discuss?
Supine.
Cradle.
Upright with chin support.
Over-the-shoulder.
The Correct Answer is B
Choice A rationale
The supine position is not recommended for breastfeeding because it can lead to issues with latching and milk flow, making it uncomfortable and potentially unsafe.
Choice B rationale
The cradle position is a common and effective breastfeeding position where the baby's head rests in the crook of the mother's arm, allowing for close contact and support.
Choice C rationale
Upright with chin support is not a standard breastfeeding position and may not provide the necessary support or alignment for effective breastfeeding.
Choice D rationale
Over-the-shoulder is also not a recommended breastfeeding position as it is impractical and does not facilitate proper latching or feeding.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Choice A rationale
A boggy and displaced fundus typically indicates bladder distention. Assisting the client to void can help relieve bladder distention, allowing the uterus to contract properly and
reducing the risk of postpartum hemorrhage.
Choice B rationale
Asking the client to rate her pain is important, but it does not address the immediate issue of a boggy, displaced fundus, which suggests bladder distention.
Choice C rationale
Encouraging the client to move to the left lateral position might help with blood flow and comfort but does not resolve the issue of a boggy fundus due to bladder distention.
Choice D rationale
Kegel exercises strengthen pelvic floor muscles but do not address the immediate concern of a boggy, displaced fundus caused by bladder distention.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Choice A rationale
G4T1 P1 A1 L2 implies the client has been pregnant 4 times, with 1 term birth, 1 preterm birth, 1 abortion, and 2 living children. This does not include the correct number of
pregnancies or abortions for this client.
Choice B rationale
G5T2 P0 A2 L2 indicates 5 pregnancies, 2 term births, no preterm births, 2 abortions, and 2 living children. This does not correctly account for the preterm birth and abortion history
provided.
Choice C rationale
G5T1 P1 A2 L2 is the correct answer, as it denotes 5 pregnancies (including the current one), 1 term birth, 1 preterm birth, 2 abortions, and 2 living children, aligning with the client's
history.
Choice D rationale
G5T1 P1 A1 L3 indicates 5 pregnancies, 1 term birth, 1 preterm birth, 1 abortion, and 3 living children. The client has only 2 living children, so this is incorrect.
