Question 2

The client considering a mammoplasty asks the nurse if she will still be able to breastfeed if she has the procedure. The nurse's best response includes what information?

1. The removal of adipose tissue disturbs the flow of milk, so she likely will not be able to breast feed.
2. The insertion of a saline device can be pocketed under the muscle to allow for future breastfeeding.
3. The likelihood of producing milk is slim, because the duct system is interrupted by the surgical procedure and implant.
4. Breastfeeding is discouraged postprocedure because it can change the shape of the breast and damage the implant.

Answer to Question 1

1,2,3
Rationale: The nurse must be able to prioritize care, and remember that client and family emotions are not directed at the nurse, but at the loss.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Cutting into the mammary tissue and placing a saline implant disturbs the duct system in the breast and makes the likelihood of breastfeeding very low but not impossible.
