Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Infant positioning is a critical factor in nipple soreness. Changing positions alters the focus of greatest stress and promotes more complete breast emptying.
Rationale 2: Using a breast shield is not a critical factor in alleviating nipple soreness.
Rationale 3: Using breast pads is not a critical factor in alleviating nipple soreness.
Rationale 4: The type of soap used is not a critical factor in nipple soreness.

Answer to Question 2

Explanation: 1. Infants of women with preeclampsia during pregnancy tend to be small for gestational age (SGA) because of intrauterine growth restriction. The cause is related specifically to maternal vasospasm and hypovolemia, which result in fetal hypoxia and malnutrition.
