Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: During slow weaning, over a period of several weeks the mother substitutes more cup feedings or bottle feedings for breastfeedings.

Correct Answer: 1,3,4,5

Rationale 4: Administering analgesics as needed, encouraging leg exercises every two hours, encouraging the patient to cough and deep-breathe every 24 hours, and encouraging the use of breathing, relaxation, and distraction all address the patient's nursing care needs, which are similar to those of other surgical patients.
