Answer to Question 1

A
Infant is held upright to prevent regurgitation. The nipple is placed on top of the tongue. Feedings should be limited to 30 minutes to avoid fatigue. The feeding should be followed with sterile water to clean trapped food in the cleft.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. It will be easier on you and the baby will get better nutrition if you bottle feed is not the best response. Saying the baby will get better nutrition if she bottle feeds is not necessarily true. Breast milk has many advantages over formula. It contains immunologic and antibacterial components not present in formula. Breast milk protein is a more complete protein and is more easily digested than the protein in formula.
B Incorrect. I wish you could breastfeed, but in this case it is going to be impossible may be inaccurate because breastfeeding may be possible.
C Correct. The nurse's best response is It may be possible to breastfeed your baby. I will help you. If it does not work out, you can use a breast pump and feed breast milk using a bottle and special nipples. Breastfeeding may be possible if the baby has a small cleft lip and palate.
D Incorrect. This is not the nurse's best response.
