Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
If a client who has delivered does not have evidence of immunity, CDC recommendations advise that pertussis, rubella, and Tdap should be administered. RhoGAM is required if there is evidence of sensitization in response to Rh factor identification based on maternal and fetal blood results.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
The client should be advised to avoid massaging the breasts because this will stimulate milk production. Instruct the client to wear a sports bra or other well-fitting bra 24 hours a day until the breasts become soft. Manage breast discomfort by application of ice, which reduces vasocongestion. Advise the client to refrain from allowing warm water to fall directly on the breasts during showers and pumping because these actions will stimulate milk production.
