The postpartum client is concerned about mastitis because she experienced it with her last baby. Preventive measures the nurse could teach include:
1. Wearing a tight-fitting bra.
2. Limiting feedings to q.i.d.
3. Frequent breastfeeding.
4. Forcing fluids.

Rationale:
1. Although wearing a supportive bra is recommended, a tight-fitting bra would mechanically suppress lactation
2. Limiting feedings to q.i.d. would suppress lactation.
3. Frequent breastfeeding is important because complete emptying of the breasts prevents engorgement and stasis.
4. Forcing fluids is not necessary.
