Explanation
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
Explanation
A. A decrease in hematocrit after delivery is more likely due to physiological changes rather than dietary factors alone, though iron intake is important for overall recovery.
B. Hemoconcentration refers to an increase in hematocrit due to a decrease in plasma volume, but this is not the reason for a decreased hematocrit postpartum.
C. During pregnancy, blood volume increases to support both the mother and fetus. After delivery, plasma volume returns to pre-pregnancy levels, which can cause a relative decrease in hematocrit.
D. A significant drop in hematocrit could indicate postpartum hemorrhage, but a slight drop can be expected as part of normal post-delivery physiology.
