Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

2
1. Incorrect. Breastfeeding is a positive way to facilitate maternal-newborn interactions, but is not the primary reason that a woman is encouraged to breastfeed after an emergency birth.
2. Correct. Stimulation of the nipples via breastfeeding or manual stimulation will release oxytocin and prevent maternal hemorrhage.
3. Incorrect. The primary intervention to prevent neonatal hypoglycemia is by thermoregu-lation. Cold stress can result in hypoglycemia. The woman is encouraged to breastfeed after an emergency birth to stimulate the release of oxytocin and prevent hemorrhage.
4. Incorrect. Breastfeeding is encouraged to initiate the lactation cycle, but is not the prima-ry reason following an emergency birth. Stimulation of the nipples via breastfeeding or ma-nual stimulation will release oxytocin and prevent maternal hemorrhage.
