The pregnant client in her second trimester states, "I didn't know my breasts would become so large. How do I find a good bra?" The best answer for the nurse to make would be:

1. "Avoid cotton fabrics and get an underwire bra; they fit everyone best."
2. "Just buy a bra one cup size bigger than usual, and it will fit."
3. "Look for wide straps and cups big enough for all of your breast tissue."
4. "There isn't much you can do for comfort. Try not wearing a bra at all."

Rationale:
1. Cotton is a comfortable fabric due to increased perspiration during pregnancy.
2. To obtain maximum comfort, instruct the client to get a bra that fits well with wide, non-stretch straps, a cup big enough to hold all of the breast tissue, and a band that will expand as the rib cage circumference increases during late pregnancy.
