SESSION # 16
The instructor will now rationalize the answers to the students and will encourage them to ask questions
and to discuss among their classmates for 20 minutes.
1.Which minerals and vitamins usually are recommended to supplement a pregnant woman's diet?
Answer: C.
2. With regard to nutritional needs during lactation, a maternity nurse should be aware that:
a. The mother's intake of vitamin C, zinc, and protein now can be lower than during pregnancy.
b. Caffeine consumed by the mother accumulates in the infant, who therefore may be unusually active
and wakeful.
Answer: B.
Rationale: Vitamin C, zinc, and protein levels need to be moderately higher during lactation than during
pregnancy. A lactating woman needs to avoid consuming too much caffeine. The recommendations for
iron and folic acid are somewhat lower during lactation. Lactating women should consume about 500
kcal more than their pre-pregnancy intake, at least 1800 kcal daily overall.
3. When counseling a client about getting enough iron in her diet, the maternity nurse should tell her
that:
a. Milk, coffee, and tea aid iron absorption if consumed at the same time as iron.
Rationale: These beverages inhibit iron absorption when consumed at the same time as iron. Vitamin C
promotes iron absorption. Children who ingest iron can get very sick and even die. Constipation can be a
problem.
4. Which suggestions should the nurse include when teaching about appropriate weight gain in
pregnancy? Select all that apply.
c. Adolescents are encouraged to strive for weight gains at the upper end of the recommended scale.
d. In twin gestations, the weight gain recommended for a single fetus pregnancy should simply be
doubled.
Answer: A. B, C, E
Rationale: Underweight women need to gain the most. Obese women need to gain weight during
pregnancy to equal the weight of the products of conception. Adolescents are still growing; therefore,
their bodies naturally compete for nutrients with the fetus. Women bearing twins need to gain more
weight (usually 16 to 20 kg) but not necessarily twice as much. Normal weight women should gain 11.5
to 16kg.
5.The nurse is discussing storage of breast milk with a mother whose infant is preterm and in the special
care unit. What statement would indicate that the mother needs additional teaching?
Answer: A
Rationale: If the mother states that she can store her breast milk in the refrigerator for 3 months, she
needs additional teaching about safe storage. Breast milk can be stored at room temperature for 8
hours, in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days, in the freezer for 3 months, or in a deep freezer for 6 to 12
months. It is accurate and does not require additional teaching if the mother states that she can store
her breast milk in the freezer for 3 months, at room temperature for 8 hours, and in the refrigerator for 3
to 5 days.
6.With regard to the nutrient needs of breastfed and formula-fed infants, nurses should understand that:
b. During the first 3 months breastfed infants consumes more energy than do formula-fed infants.
c. Breastfeeding infants should receive oral vitamin D drops daily at least during the first 2 months.
d. Vitamin K injections at birth are not needed for infants fed on specially enriched formula.
Answer: C
Rationale: Human milk contains only small amounts of vitamin D. Neither breastfed nor formula-fed
infants need to be given water, even in very hot climates. During the first 3 months formula-fed infants
consume more energy than do breastfed infants and therefore tend to grow more rapidly. Vitamin K
shots are required for all infants because the bacteria that produce it are absent from the baby's
stomach at birth.
7.All parents are entitled to a birthing environment in which breastfeeding is promoted and supported.
The Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative endorsed by WHO and UNICEF was founded to encourage
institutions to offer optimal levels of care for lactating mothers. Which instruction is not included in the
"Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding for Hospitals"?
Answer: D
Rationale: No artificial teats or pacifiers (also called dummies or soothers) should be given to
breastfeeding infants. No other food or drink should be given to the newborn unless medically indicated.
The breastfeeding policy should be routinely communicated to all health care staff. All staff should be
trained in the skills necessary to maintain this policy.
Breastfeeding should be initiated within one half hour of birth, and all mothers need to be shown how to
maintain lactation even if they are separated from their babies.
8. Nutrition is an alterable and important preventive measure for a variety of potential problems such as
low birth weight and prematurity. While completing the physical assessment of the pregnant client, the
nurse is able to evaluate the client's nutritional status by observing a number of physical signs. Which
physical sign indicates to the nurse that the client has unmet nutritional needs?
Answer: D
Rationale: The physiologic changes of pregnancy may complicate the interpretation of physical findings.
Lower extremity edema often occurs when caloric and protein deficiencies are present; however, edema
in the lower extremities may also be a common physical finding during the third trimester. Completing a
thorough health history and physical assessment and requesting further laboratory testing, if indicated,
are essential for the nurse. The malnourished pregnant client may display rapid heart rate, abnormal
rhythm, enlarged heart, and elevated blood pressure. A client receiving adequate nutrition will have
bright, shiny eyes with no sores and moist, pink membranes. Pale or red membranes, dryness, infection,
dull appearance of the cornea, or blue sclerae are signs of poor nutrition. A client who is alert and
responsive with good endurance is well nourished. A listless, cachectic, easily fatigued, and tired
presentation would be an indication of a poor nutritional status.
9. What are the breast milk composition? Select that all apply
a. Triglycerides
b. Lactose
c. Whey proteins
Answer: A, B, C, D
b. A
c. E
d. Vit D
Answer: A
Rationale: Iron deficiency anemia impairs immunity and reduces physical and mental capacities of
populations. Iodine deficiency is the leading cause of mental and physical retardation in infants and
children worldwide. As with vitamin A and iron, iodine deficiency increases the risk of death in
newborns.
