Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The client can avoid mastitis by wearing a supportive bra even at night when sleeping, which helps to position the breasts for proper drainage and prevent pooling of milk. While hygiene is important, the client should avoid antibacterial soaps and scrubbing of the nipples to prevent cracking and drying, which will provide a portal of entry for bacteria. The woman should empty both breasts when breastfeeding to prevent overdistention.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The client with Crohn's disease is placed on a low-fiber diet. This client can have fruits and vegetables that are cooked or canned without seeds or skin. A tossed salad contains raw vegetables. An apple has skin, and is high in fiber. Dried fruit is high in fiber.
