Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: A 24-hour support bra is recommended.
Rationale 2: Applying heat would stimulate milk production.
Rationale 3: Applying cold packs to the breasts relieves discomfort and helps suppress lactation.
Rationale 4: Using a breast pump would stimulate milk production and delay the suppression process.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale 1: The nurse should make sure that women are aware of good hygiene practices, and should provide information on other ways to avoid UTI.
Rationale 2: Women need to know the manifestations of UTIs to secure prompt treatment.
Rationale 3: If an infection is present, the woman needs information on how to take antibiotics, and needs to know to complete all of them.
Rationale 4: Fluids should be increased to 25003000 ml per day to decrease the chance of infection.
Rationale 5: Voluntarily suppressing the desire to urinate is a predisposing factor. Retention overdistends the bladder, and can lead to an infection.
