A 25-year-old patient is considering receiving Depo-Provera 150 mg IM. Which points must the nurse include in her teaching related to this medication?

Choice A rationale

Drying and covering the infant helps prevent heat loss and maintain body temperature, which is essential for newborns immediately after birth.

Choice B rationale

Stimulating the infant to cry helps clear the airways but is usually done after ensuring the respiratory tract is clear.

Choice C rationale

Clearing the respiratory tract is the priority immediately after birth to ensure the newborn can breathe properly and reduce the risk of aspiration.

Choice D rationale

Assessing the umbilical cord is important but not the first priority. Ensuring the airway is clear takes precedence to establish effective breathing. .

Choice A rationale: Prolactin is the hormone responsible for the production of breast milk. It is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates the mammary glands to produce milk. Prolactin levels increase during pregnancy and breastfeeding to ensure a sufficient milk supply.

Choice B rationale: Progesterone plays a role in preparing the breast tissue for lactation during pregnancy, but it does not directly stimulate milk production.

Choice C rationale: Hindmilk is the milk produced later in a feeding session, which is richer in fat and calories. It is not a hormone and does not stimulate milk production.

Choice D rationale: Foremilk is the initial milk released during breastfeeding, which is higher in water content. It is also not a hormone and does not stimulate milk production.
