Passage / Scenario
A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a client who is breastfeeding her newborn.Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Allowing the baby to feed at least every 3 hours ensures adequate nutrition and stimulates milk production. Water supplementation is unnecessary, limiting feeding time to 5-10 minutes may reduce intake, and expecting only 2-4 wet diapers is too low; 6 or more are typical.
