A breastfeeding mother reports that she has cramping after every time she feeds
her baby. The nurse informs her that these are afterpains, intermittent uterine
contractions similar to menstrual cramps. What is the best physician-ordered
pharmacological nursing intervention?
a) Narcotic
b) Mild analgesic
c) Anesthetic
d) Tocolytic - ANSWER: : b) Mild analgesic
Mild analgesics provide adequate relief of afterpains for most women. The
breastfeeding mother should take an analgesic immediately after breastfeeding to
minimize sedation and side effects passing to the newborn. Aspirin is not used
postpartum because it interferes with blood clotting.
What is the hormone responsible for the production of breast milk?
a) Prolactin
b) Oxytocin
c) Endorphin
d) Progestin - ANSWER: : a) Prolactin
Prolactin from the posterior pituitary gland causes the production of breast milk.
Oxytocin from the posterior pituitary gland causes the milk to be delivered from
the alveoli through the duct system to the nipple. Endorphins are hormones that
cause a naturally occurring analgesic effect that assist with pain tolerance.
Progestin is a form of birth control for lactating mothers.

b) Rh-positive mother and Rh-negative infant
c) Mother and baby who are both Rh positive
d) Mother and baby who are both Rh negative - ANSWER: :a) Rh-negative

Which type of milk aids in eliminating meconium?
a)Foremilk
b) Colostrum
, 4|Pag e
c) Mature
d) Transitional - ANSWER: : b) Colostrum
Rationale Colostrum is rich in immunoglobulins and has a laxative effect, so it aids
in the elimination of meconium. Foremilk is rich in water and helps quench the
newborn's thirst. Mature milk is rich in nutrients and helps satiate the newborn's
hunger. By the time transitional milk is produced, all meconium has been
eliminated from the baby's body.
Which finding in a newborn would the nurse associate with impaired
gastrointestinal function?
a) Passing meconium 4 days after birth
b) Passing meconium 4 hours after birth
c) Passing meconium in the mother's womb
d) Passing meconium immediately after birth - ANSWER: : a) Passing meconium
4 days after birth
Rationale Most newborns pass meconium within 12 hours after the birth. If a
newborn does not pass meconium until 4 days after birth, it indicates that the
newborn has impaired gastrointestinal functioning. If the newborn has passed
meconium 4 hours after birth, it is a normal finding and is not indicative of
impaired gastrointestinal functioning. Many postterm newborns pass meconium in
the mother's womb. It may be caused by fetal distress. If the newborn passes
meconium immediately after birth, it is a normal finding and does not indicate
gastrointestinal impairment.
Which test is performed to identify whether the newborn has a risk of intellectual
disability?
a) Phenylketonuria (PKU) test
b) Homocysteinuria test
c) Masimo pulse oximeter
