Hesi lpn exit proctored exam
A new mother asks the practical nurse (PN), "How do I know that my baby is getting enough breast milk?" Which explanation should the PN provide?
Explanation & Rationale
A. If your baby is voiding pale straw-colored urine 6 to 10 times a day, your milk is sufficient: Frequent wet diapers with light-colored urine is a reliable sign of adequate intake. B. Weigh the baby before and after each feeding: Impractical for home use; reserved for special monitoring. C. Offer the baby an extra bottle of milk after her feeding: Not recommended; interferes with breastfeeding and demand-supply regulation. D. If you're concerned, bottle feed your baby so that you can see how much milk your daughter is taking: Not the first-line response; undermines breastfeeding.
