A nurse is providing teaching for a client who is 2 weeks postpartum and has mastitis.Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

Choice A rationaleFeeding from only one breast can lead to engorgement and a decrease in milk supply in the affected breast. It is important to continue breastfeeding from both breasts, even if one is infected.Choice B rationaleDiscarding milk is not necessary and can lead to a decrease in milk supply. The infection does not harm the baby, and breastfeeding helps to drain the breast and clear the infection.Choice C rationaleMoist heat can help to increase blood flow and promote healing in the affected breast. Applying warm compresses or taking warm showers can help to reduce pain and inflammation associated with mastitis.Choice D rationaleWhile staying hydrated is important for overall health, there is no specific requirement to drink at least 1500 milliliters of fluid per day for mastitis. Adequate fluid intake should be maintained, but there is no direct correlation with resolving the infection.
