A woman had a recommended caloric intake of 2000 calories per day before becoming pregnant. She delivers and is breastfeeding. How many calories per day is recommended for her now?

2300

2500

2750

3000

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A. 2300 calories is insufficient for breastfeeding. An additional 500 calories is needed for milk production.

B. The recommended caloric intake for breastfeeding women is typically an additional 500 calories per day above their pre-pregnancy caloric intake. So, for this woman, it would be 2500 calories (2000 + 500).

C. 2750 calories is more than the typical recommendation.

D. 3000 calories is higher than the typical recommendation for most breastfeeding women.

Correct Answer is ["C","E","F"]

Explanation

A. The active stage of labor typically begins when cervical dilation is around 4 cm. LC’s dilation of 6 cm suggests that she is already in the active phase, but this is not confirmed based on this vaginal exam alone.

B. LC is not 80% dilated; the figure 6/80/-1 indicates 6 cm dilation, 80% effaced, and -1 station (fetal head is still above the ischial spines).

C. The fetal station of -1 indicates that the presenting part (head) is 1 cm above the pelvic outlet, which is consistent with this description.

D. The presenting part being 1 cm below the ischial spines would indicate a station of +1, which is not described here.

E. The cervix is 80% effaced, meaning it is more than halfway thinned, which is correct.

F. With a dilation of 6 cm, LC is in the active phase of labor, not the latent phase, but the question refers to the latent phase for comparison.

A. Length of time the infant feeding. B. Listening to hear if the baby is swallowing C. Asking about pain while feeding D. Evaluating if the nipple is inverted, flat, or everted. E. Assessing for help at home with breastfeeding F. Use of a nipple shield

Correct Answer is ["A","B","D"]

Explanation

A. The length of time the infant is feeding is a factor in evaluating the effectiveness of breastfeeding.

B. Listening for swallowing during breastfeeding indicates that the infant is transferring milk effectively.

C. Asking about pain while feeding is important for assessing breastfeeding comfort, but it's not part of the LATCH score.

D. Nipple shape (inverted, flat, or everted) is part of the LATCH score, as it can impact latch and breastfeeding effectiveness.

E. Assessing for help at home with breastfeeding is important for support but is not part of the LATCH scoring system.

F. Use of a nipple shield is important for certain breastfeeding difficulties but is not part of the LATCH score.
