A mother is anxious about her ability to breastfeed after her child is born because of her small breast size. What would be an important point to teach this mother?

Drinking extra milk during pregnancy allows breasts to produce adequate amounts of milk.

Supplementing breastfeeding with formula allows the infant to receive adequate nutrition.

Breast size can be increased with exercise.

Milk is produced in ducts and lobules regardless of breast size.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. Drinking extra milk during pregnancy does not directly impact milk production. The body produces milk based on demand, not by consuming additional milk.

B. While formula supplementation may be necessary in some cases, it does not directly address the mother's ability to produce sufficient milk. It is important to focus on breastfeeding techniques and frequency to support milk production.

C. Breast size is not a determining factor for successful breastfeeding. Exercises will not increase breast size or enhance milk production significantly.

D. Milk production occurs in the mammary glands, specifically in the ducts and lobules, which are not dependent on breast size. Even women with smaller breasts can produce enough milk to exclusively breastfeed, as long as the demand and milk removal are properly managed.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Possible signs of pregnancy are not a recognized classification in obstetrics; signs are categorized as presumptive, probable, or positive.

B. Feeling fetal movement, or quickening, is a presumptive sign of pregnancy because it is subjective and can be influenced by other factors, such as gastrointestinal activity or perception errors.

C. Probable signs are objective findings observed by a healthcare provider, such as a positive pregnancy test or uterine enlargement, not based on the woman's report.

D. Positive signs of pregnancy are definitive and include visualizing the fetus on ultrasound or hearing the fetal heartbeat through Doppler, neither of which relies on subjective feelings.

A. There is no safe level of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. B. It is safe to consume one to two alcoholic beverages per day while pregnant. C. Drinking alcohol after the first trimester of pregnancy is considered safe. D. There is no direct link from maternal alcohol consumption to developmental and cognitive delays.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. There is no safe level of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. This is the correct statement. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), and there is no known safe threshold for alcohol use during pregnancy.

B. Consuming one to two alcoholic beverages per day during pregnancy is not safe and could lead to fetal harm. There is no safe amount of alcohol consumption during pregnancy.

C. Drinking alcohol at any time during pregnancy is risky and can lead to serious complications for the fetus, even after the first trimester.

D. There is a clear and established link between maternal alcohol consumption and developmental and cognitive delays in the child. Therefore, this statement is inaccurate.
