Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Infants who are breastfed tend to be hungry every 2 to 3 hours. They should be fed frequently. Six weeks is too early to introduce newborn cereal. Supplemental formula is not indicated. Giving additional formula or water to a breastfed infant may satiate the infant and create problems with breastfeeding. The infant requires additional feedings. Four hours is too long between feedings for a breastfed infant.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The factors that contribute to successful breastfeeding are the mother's desire to breastfeed, satisfaction with breastfeeding, and available support systems. Very lowbirth-weight infants may be unable to breastfeed. The mother can express milk, and it can be used for the infant. The size of mother's breasts does not affect the success of breastfeeding. The family's socioeconomic level may affect the mother's need to return to work and available support systems, but with support, the mother can be successful.
