Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
If the infant's mouth does not cover as much of the areola as possible, the pressure during sucking will be applied to the nipple, causing trauma to the area. Assessing the nipples for trauma is important, but it will not prevent sore nipples. Stimulating the breast for less than 5 minutes will not produce the extra milk the infant may need. Soap can be drying to the nipples and should be avoided during breastfeeding.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
In the terminal sterilization method, the formula is prepared in the bottles, which are loosely capped, and then the bottles are placed in the sterilizer, where they are boiled for 25 minutes. The terminal method takes 25 minutes to boil; the aseptic method takes 5 minutes to boil. With the aseptic method, the bottles are boiled separate from the formula. With the terminal method, the formula is prepared, placed in bottles, and everything is boiled at one time.
