How do you prevent flat spots on the back of a baby's head?

Choice A rationale:

Applying crushed cabbage leaves to the breasts can be a traditional remedy to help reduce swelling and discomfort associated with engorgement.

Choice B rationale:

Wearing a snug-fitting bra can help provide support to the breasts and reduce discomfort from breast engorgement. It can also help to avoid stimulation of the breasts, which can decrease milk production in a client who is not breastfeeding. This is an appropriate comfort measure for the client.

Choice C rationale:

Stimulating the nipples by squeezing softly can lead to increased milk production and exacerbate breast engorgement. For a client who is not breastfeeding, this action is not recommended and may worsen the engorgement.

Choice D rationale:

Applying ice packs to the breasts can help reduce inflammation and alleviate discomfort from breast engorgement. This is an appropriate comfort measure for the client who is not breastfeeding.

Choice A rationale:

The nurse should not report the client's Hemoglobin level first to the primary health care because it falls within the normal range of 14 to 24 g/dL for a newborn. Therefore, it is not an immediate concern.

Choice B rationale:

The nurse should first report the client's Chest x-ray results to the primary health care. The diffuse pattern of radiopaque areas bilaterally on the chest x-ray suggests possible respiratory distress or other respiratory issues in the newborn. This finding requires immediate attention and intervention to ensure proper respiratory function.

Choice C rationale:

The nurse should not report the client's Glucose level first to the primary health care as 40 mg/dL is within the normal range of 30 to 60 mg/dL for a newborn. Though it is on the lower side, it is not critically low, and there are more urgent concerns to address.
