Answer to Question 1

A
Early and frequent feedings prevent stasis of milk, which contributes to engorgement and mastitis.
Five minutes does not adequately empty the breast. This will produce stasis of the milk.
A firm-fitting bra will support the breast, but not prevent mastitis. The breast should not be bound.
Warm packs before feeding will increase the flow of milk.

Answer to Question 2

D
The amount of milk produced depends on the amount of stimulation of the breast. Increased demand with more frequent and longer breastfeeding sessions results in more milk available for the infant.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
