Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

The correct answer is choice B.

Choice A rationale:

Cabbage leaves have been used for many years for relief of breast engorgement. They can be crushed slightly until the juice is visible and then chilled in the refrigerator before applying to the breasts.

Choice B rationale:

Applying hot packs during feeding can actually increase blood flow and make engorgement worse. Cold packs should be used after feeding to help reduce swelling.

Choice C rationale:

Applying ice packs after feeding can help reduce swelling and provide relief from engorgement.

Choice D rationale:

Frequent breastfeeding can help to relieve engorgement. The breasts should be emptied completely at each feeding.

A. Between 24 and 28 weeks' gestation. B. Between 8 and 12 weeks' gestation. C. Between 15 and 19 weeks' gestation. D. Between 30 and 32 weeks' gestation.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

The correct answer is choice A.

Choice A rationale:

The glucose challenge test is used to check for gestational diabetes during pregnancy. People at average risk of gestational diabetes usually have this test done during the second trimester, generally between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy.

Choice B rationale:

This is too early in the pregnancy to screen for gestational diabetes. The body’s response to sugar changes as the pregnancy progresses, so testing is typically done later.

Choice C rationale:

This is still a bit early for the screening. The recommended time is between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation.

Choice D rationale:

This is too late in the pregnancy for the screening. The recommended time is between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation.
