Answer to Question 1

B
More frequent nursing and alternating positions should decrease the pressure on the nipples. She also should be sure to air dry her nipples after each feeding. Using a nipple shield usually is reserved for use with cracked nipples. Giving the baby formula for a day until the nipples heal is inappropriate, as it will decrease the mother's milk supply.

Answer to Question 2

C
Alexander technique is a form of body technique or postural therapy that works on proper alignment of head, neck, and spine. This alignment is thought to improve physical and psychologic well-being. Relearning better alignment and posture has been associated with reduction in chronic pain from previous injuries or poor posture.
