Rationale 1: These are not symptoms of nipple soreness.
Rationale 2: These are not symptoms of engorgement.
Rationale 3: Mastitis is characterized by late-onset nipple pain, followed by shooting pains during and between feedings. The skin of the affected breast becomes pink, flaking, and pruritic.
Rationale 4: These are not symptoms of the letdown reflex.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: Habituation is the newborn's ability to process and respond to visual and auditory stimulation.
Rationale 2: Orientation is the newborn's ability to be alert to, follow, and fixate on complex visual stimuli that are appealing and attractive, such as a mother's eyes.
Rationale 3: Self-quieting is the newborn's ability to quiet and comfort himself by sucking on the fist.
Rationale 4: Reactivity describes the newborn's awake and active state in the first several hours after birth.
