Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Feedback:
The LATCH breastfeeding charting system is used to measure a mother's ability to breastfeed independently. Criteria that indicate the mother can breastfeed independently include everted nipples, breasts are soft and nontender, and the baby swallows spontaneously and frequently. The mother having to hold the nipple in the baby's mouth and the nurse assisting with positioning indicate the mother is not independent in breastfeeding.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The mother has decided to forgo breastfeeding for formula feeding. This decision could place the mother at risk for impaired parenting because of the need to formula feed the infant. The mother's decision does not support the diagnoses of anxiety and ineffective coping. It is unlikely that the infant will have imbalanced nutrition related to formula feeding.
