The nurse provides client teaching to prevent development of mastitis by instructing the mother to:
1. Use an antibacterial soap to clean the breasts.
2. Scrub the nipples before every feeding with soap and water.
3. Wear a supportive bra even when sleeping.
4. Never completely empty the breast when breastfeeding.
3
Rationale: The client can avoid mastitis by wearing a supportive bra even at night when sleeping, which helps to position the breasts for proper drainage and prevent pooling of milk. While hygiene is important, the client should avoid antibacterial soaps and scrubbing of the nipples to prevent cracking and drying, which will provide a portal of entry for bacteria. The woman should empty both breasts when breastfeeding to prevent overdistention.
