  a. harmless fatty tumor c. localized site of in-fection
  b. enlarged lymph node d. blockage of a milk duct

Question 2

After delivery of the newborn, the nursing intervention that most promotes parental attachment is:

Answer to Question 1

C
This most likely is a localized site of infection, with manifestations consistent with mastitis. Development of a harmless fatty tumor is a very uncommon event and so not likely the cause of this mother's symptoms. Enlarged lymph nodes occur in the presence of systemic infection. The location of the swelling is not consistent with a blocked milk duct.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Removing the baby from the mother does not promote interaction.
2. Placing the baby on the maternal abdomen promotes attachment and bonding, and gives the mother a chance to interact with her baby immediately.
3. Removing the baby from the mother does not promote interaction.
4. Removing the baby from the mother does not promote interaction.
