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 C
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Category 1 is a normal fetal heart rate pattern with no signs of fetal distress, which is not applicable in this case.
Choice B rationale
Category 2 represents an intermediate category with some concerns, but recurrent late decelerations and absent variability place this scenario in a higher risk category.
Choice C rationale
Category 3 indicates abnormal fetal heart rate patterns, including absent variability with recurrent late decelerations, which is associated with potential fetal hypoxia or acidemia and requires prompt intervention.
Choice D rationale
There is no Category 4 in fetal heart rate monitoring.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Administering the rubella vaccine during pregnancy, including the third trimester, is contraindicated due to the risk of live vaccine transmission to the fetus. It is not recommended at any stage of pregnancy.
Choice B rationale
Advising the client to get the vaccine during her next pregnancy attempt is partly correct but lacks the immediacy needed to ensure she is immune before the next pregnancy. The vaccine should be given postpartum.
Choice C rationale
Administering the vaccine immediately during pregnancy is contraindicated due to potential risks to the fetus. Rubella vaccines contain live virus, which can cause fetal harm if given during pregnancy.
Choice D rationale
It is safest to administer the rubella vaccine postpartum, prior to hospital discharge, to ensure the client has immunity before any future pregnancies. This timing prevents any risk to the current fetus and ensures future fetal protection. .
