After instructing a primiparous client who is breast-feeding on how to prevent nipple soreness during feedings, the nurse determines that the client needs further instruction when she states which of the following?
"I should position the baby the same way for each feeding."

Answer :

Answer:

a. "I should position the baby the same way for each feeding."

Explanation:

The recommended nursing intervention for nipple sore is to breast feed the neonate by switching between breasts alternatively. The client shall start feeding with the breast which is less sore because the first few minutes of initial sucking by the baby is vigorous. The baby's position shall be changed multiple times during feeding so that the pressure implied during sucking by baby's mouth shall be diffused to different part of breast causing less pain. Hence, if the mother states that she should feed the baby in same position, She needs further instruction and education regarding sore nipple prevention.
