Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Allowing a baby to sleep in an adult bed increases the risk of suffocation and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). It is safer for infants to sleep on a firm, flat surface in their own crib or bassinet to reduce the risk of accidental suffocation or strangulation. Therefore, the caregiver should be advised against co-sleeping with the infant to ensure the baby's safety.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: After delivery, the fundus is expected to be at the level of the umbilicus 24 hours postpartum. This position indicates that the uterus is involuting properly. Assessing the fundal height helps monitor the progress of uterine involution and can identify any potential complications like postpartum hemorrhage.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Wetting at least six diapers a day is a key indicator of adequate breastfeeding as it shows that the baby is properly hydrated and receiving enough milk.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: When a breastfeeding mother experiences nipple pain, ensuring the baby latches on properly is essential. Proper latch-on technique can help prevent and alleviate nipple pain by ensuring the baby is effectively extracting milk and not causing undue pressure or friction on the nipple. This guidance can promote a more comfortable breastfeeding experience for the mother and improve milk transfer for the baby.
