  milk.

  progesterone.

Question 2

With regard to a woman's intake and output during labor, nurses should be aware that:

Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A The size of the breasts does not ensure success or failure in breastfeeding.
B Supplementation decreases the production of breast milk by decreasing
stimulation. Stimulation of the breast, not the size of the breast, brings about
milk production.
C All women have 15 to 20 lobes arranged around and behind the nipple and
areola. These lobes, not the size of the breast, are responsible for milk
production.
D Increased levels of estrogen decrease the production of milk by affecting
prolactin.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Women are awake with regional anesthesia and are able to protect their own airway, which reduces the worry over aspiration.
B Routine IV fluids during labor are unlikely to be beneficial and may be harmful.
C Routine use of an enema is at best ineffective and may be harmful.
D This is true for a multiparous woman but not for a first-timer.
