Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Irregular menses are not a direct risk factor for cervical cancer. While they can indicate hormonal imbalances, they are not strongly linked to cervical cancer risk.
Choice B rationale
Menopausal status and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are more closely linked to breast cancer risks rather than cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is primarily associated with HPV infection.
Choice C rationale
Multiple sexual partners increase the risk of HPV infection, which is the primary cause of cervical cancer. HPV is a sexually transmitted infection that significantly raises the likelihood of developing cervical cancer.
Choice D rationale
A family history of breast cancer is more relevant to breast cancer risk rather than cervical cancer. Cervical cancer risk is more closely linked to HPV infection and sexual behavior.
Correct Answer is ["B","E","F"]
Explanation
Choice A rationale:
The statement suggests supplementing with formula due to the baby’s weight loss. However, a 5% weight loss in the first few days is normal for breastfed infants, and formula
supplementation is not necessary unless recommended by a healthcare provider. Early breastfeeding should be encouraged to increase milk supply and support newborn weight gain.
Choice B rationale:
This statement correctly indicates that newborns should feed 8 to 12 times per day and on demand to ensure adequate nutrition and promote milk production. Frequent breastfeeding
helps establish and maintain milk supply.
Choice C rationale:
Using plastic-lined breast pads can retain moisture and increase the risk of infection or irritation. Sore nipples can be managed with lanolin creams, air-drying, and proper latching
techniques during breastfeeding.
Choice D rationale:
Drinking more whole milk is a common misconception and does not directly increase a mother's milk supply. Milk production is influenced by frequent breastfeeding, proper hydration,
and balanced nutrition, not by specific types of foods or drinks.
Choice E rationale:
Newborn stools transition from dark greenish meconium to yellow, seedy stools within the first few days of life as breastfeeding becomes established. This indicates effective feeding
and milk intake.
Choice F rationale:
It is normal for a breastfeeding mother’s breasts to feel full, warm, and slightly tender as her milk comes in. This indicates that the milk supply is increasing and the body is responding
to the newborn’s feeding needs.
