A
Feedback:
The postpartal period is a time when patients are susceptible to complications and may choose not to breastfeed. Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals by encouraging women to breastfeed even in the face of a postpartal complication. Suggesting that breastfeeding be discontinued or using supplemental feedings will not support the national goals. Breastfeeding is not known to weaken the patient's condition while being treated for a complication.
