Question

After the nurse counsels a primiparous, breastfeeding client about diet and nutritional needs during the lactation period, which client statement indicates a need for additional teaching?

Answer 1

The correct answer or statement would be - "I should drink at least five glasses of fluid daily."

Explanation:

For the breastfeeding patient, drinking 8 to 10 glasses of liquid daily is suggested anyhow. Breastfeeding ladies need an increased level of nutrient D intake for calcium absorption.

A breastfeeding lady requires an additional 500 cal/day over the prescribed nonpregnancy admission to deliver quality breast milk. Breastfeeding ladies need sufficient calcium for blood coagulating and solid bones and teeth.

Thus, the correct answer or statement would be - "I should drink at least five glasses of fluid daily."
