A breastfeeding postpartum client reports sore nipples to the nurse during a home visit. What intervention would be the highest priority?
1. Infant positioning
2. Use of the breast shield
3. Use of breast pads
4. Type of soap used
1
Explanation: 1. Poor latch and/or suck are the primary causes of nipple soreness and the baby's position at the breast is a critical factor in nipple soreness. Encouraging the mother to rotate positions when feeding the infant may decrease nipple soreness. Changing positions alters the focus of greatest stress and promotes more complete breast emptying.
