Answer to Question 1

A
Positioning the infant at nipple level will prevent downward pulling of the nipple and subse-quent nipple trauma.
This position will pull the nipple down and cause trauma.
The forefinger and middle finger can be used to support the breast, but it is not an important consideration in positioning the newborn.
The infant should take in as much areola as possible to prevent trauma to the nipples.

Answer to Question 2

D
