Rationale: If the client is breast-feeding, her calorie needs increase by approximately 500 cal/day. The client should also be instructed regarding the need for increased fluids and the need for prenatal vitamins and iron supplements.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: For indium imaging, a sample of the client's blood is collected, and the leukocytes (white blood cells) are tagged with indium. The leukocytes are then reinjected into the client. They accumulate in infected areas of bone and can be detected with scanning. No special preparation or aftercare is necessary.
