A female client is diagnosed with breast abscess. She would like to continue to breast-feed her newborn. Which of the following would be most appropriate in this situation?
A) Encourage the client to include protein content in the diet.
B) Instruct the client to wear a tight-fitting bra.
C) Reduce the frequency of removing and reapplying the dressings.
D) Assist the client to pump the breasts to remove breast milk.
D
Feedback:
The nurse should help the client pump the breasts and remove breast milk to prevent engorgement. Because the client has decided to continue breastfeeding, the client should wear a loose-fitting bra. Including protein content in the diet would be unrelated to the client's current situation. Frequency of dressing changes does not play a role in the intervention.
