Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
If the breast is not emptied at each feeding, a signal is sent that less milk is needed, and production is reduced. Emptying the breast after each feeding ensures an adequate supply for the next feeding.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
To remove the infant from the breast, she should first break the suction by inserting her finger into the corner of the infant's mouth. Pulling the infant off of the breast may cause nipple soreness.
