The nurse is working with a client from Southeast Asia. The client tells the nurse that she should not put the baby to breast until her milk comes in and her breasts are warm, because cold milk (colostrum) is bad for the baby.

After the nurse explains the benefits of colostrum, the client still insists that cold milk is bad. Which response by the nurse is best? 1. What kind of formula would you like to use?
2. That idea is folklore. Colostrum is good for the baby.
3. Now that you are here, you need to feed your baby the right way.
4. Let's give the baby formula after you breastfeed.

Question 2

1. Because of their birth relationship, fraternal twins are more similar to each other than if they had been born singly.
2. Identical twins can be the same or different sex.
3. Congenital abnormalities are more prevalent in identical twins.
4. Identical twins occur more frequently than fraternal twins.

Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 4. This response attempts to provide a compromise between acknowledging the client's desire to give formula and getting the baby to breast to get colostrum. Nurses should be aware that some immigrant mothers may have this misconception about their colostrum.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 3. Monozygotic twinning is considered a random event and occurs in approximately 3 to 4 per 1000 live births. Congenital anomalies are more prevalent and both twins may have the same malformation.
