ANSWERS QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS|ALREADY GRADED A+




A new mother recalls from prenatal class that she should try to feed her newborn
daughter when she exhibits feeding readiness cues rather than waiting until her
infant is crying frantically. On the basis of this information, this woman should
feed her infant about every 2.5 to 3 hours when she:

,a. Waves her arms in the air.
b. Makes sucking motions.
c. Has hiccups.

d. Stretches her legs out straight. - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-B
(The mother should be instructed to attempt feeding her infant every 2 hours
while massaging the breasts as the infant is feeding. Skipping feedings may cause
further swelling and discomfort. If the infant does not feed adequately and empty
the breast, the mother may pump to extract the milk and relieve some of the
discomfort. Dehydration further irritates swollen breast tissue.)
At a 2-month well-baby examination, it was discovered that a breastfed infant
had only gained 10 ounces in the past 4 weeks. The mother and the nurse agree
that, to gain weight faster, the infant needs to:


a. Begin solid foods.
b. Have a bottle of formula after every feeding.
c. Add at least one extra breastfeeding session every 24 hours.

d. Start iron supplements. - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-C


(Sucking motions, rooting, mouthing, and hand-to-mouth motions are examples
of feeding-readiness cues. Waving the arms in the air, hiccupping, and stretching
the legs out straight are not typical feeding-readiness cues.)
A new father is ready to take his wife and newborn son home. He proudly tells the
nurse who is discharging them that within the next week he plans to start feeding
the infant cereal between breastfeeding sessions. The nurse can explain to him
that beginning solid foods before 4 to 6 months may:


a. Decrease the infant's intake of sufficient calories.

, b. Lead to early cessation of breastfeeding.
c. Help the infant sleep through the night.

d. Limit the infant's growth. - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-B


(Introduction of solid foods before the infant is 4 to 6 months of age may result in
overfeeding and decreased intake of breast milk. It is not true that feeding of
solids helps infants sleep through the night. The proper balance of carbohydrate,
protein, and fat for an infant to grow properly is in the breast milk or formula.)
A pregnant woman wants to breastfeed her infant; however, her husband is not
convinced that there are any scientific reasons to do so. The nurse can give the
couple printed information comparing breastfeeding and bottle-feeding. Which
statement is most accurate? Bottle-feeding using commercially prepared infant
formulas:


a. Increases the risk that the infant will develop allergies.
b. Helps the infant sleep through the night.
c. Ensures that the infant is getting iron in a form that is easily absorbed.
d. Requires that multivitamin supplements be given to the infant. -
✔✔ANSWER✔✔-A


(Exposure to cow's milk poses a risk of developing allergies, eczema, and asthma.
"Bottle-feeding using commercially prepared infant formulas helps the infant
sleep through the night" is a false statement. Iron is better absorbed from breast
milk than from formula. Commercial formulas are designed to meet the
nutritional needs of the infant and resemble breast milk.)
A postpartum woman telephones about her 4-day-old infant. She is not scheduled
for a weight check until the infant is 10 days old, and she is worried about
