The nurse is teaching the Muslim client how to correctly latch her baby to her breast for breastfeeding. Two student nurses are observing the instruction. Later, the client requests that the nurse not be allowed to provide her postpartum care. What most likely caused the client to be uncomfortable with the nurse?

Korean mothers resist breastfeeding in the hospital. Some Asian women believe colostrum is ÔÇ£bad,ÔÇØ and therefore they do not feed until actual breast milk is present. Most Muslim women breastfeed because the Koran encourages it; however, they are uncomfortable about breastfeeding in public situations and prefer privacy. Having two students observing the feeding process most likely would make the client uncomfortable, as she would desire more privacy. Some Asian cultures believe the newborn must be given boiled water until the milk is actually present.
