The nurse is working with a client from the southeastern portion of Asia. The client tells the nurse that she should not put the baby to breast until her milk comes in and her breasts are warm, because cold milk (colostrum) is bad for the baby
After providing education to the client that colostrum is highly beneficial for her baby, the client still insists that cold milk is bad. Which response by the nurse is best? 1. "What kind of formula would you like to use?"
2. "That idea is folklore. Colostrum is good for the baby."
3. "Now that you are here, you need to feed the right way."
4. "Let's give the baby formula after you breastfeed."
4
Rationale:
1. This statement does not facilitate breastfeeding, and does not support the education provided to the client that colostrum is beneficial.
2. Although colostrum is indeed good for newborns, this response is disrespectful.
3. This answer is disrespectful and therefore not therapeutic.
4. This response attempts to provide a compromise between the client's desire to give formula at this time and getting the baby to breast to get colostrum.
