The postpartum multipara is breastfeeding her new baby. The patient states that she developed mastitis with her first child, and asks if there is something she can do to prevent mastitis this time. The best response of the nurse is:
1. "Massage your breasts on a daily basis, and if you find a hardened area, massage it towards the nipple to unblock that duct." 2. "Most first-time moms experience mastitis. It is really quite unusual for a woman having her second baby to get it again." 3. "Apply cold packs to any areas that feel thickened or firm in order to relieve the swelling and stasis of the milk in that area." 4. "Take your temperature once a day. This will help you to pick up the infection early, before it becomes severe."
