A new mother is concerned because her breast-feeding neonate wants to "nurse all the time. " Which of the following responses best indicates the normal neonate's breast-feeding behavior
A."Breast milk is ideal for your baby, so his stomach will digest it quickly, requiring more feedings. "
B."Let me call the lactation consultant to make sure that your baby is feeding properly. "
C."Don't worry; your baby is an aggressive feeder and needs a lot of sucking satisfaction. "
D."It seems as if your baby is hungry. Why don't you provide your baby with some formula after the feeding to make sure he's getting enough nourishment"
参考答案:A
解析:Breast milk is the ideal food for a neonate. As a result, the neonate will digest and use all of the nutrients in each feeding quickly. Coaching the mother must include relaying this information to allay maternal concerns about producing an adequate supply of milk. Although a lactation consultant may be helpful, the nurse should be able to provide the mother with adequate information. Telling the client not to worry ignores her concern. Suggesting supplementation with formula indicates that the mother's breast-feeding attempts are unsatisfactory. Nurses shouldn't suggest giving formula to a breast-feeding infant.
