mother and her newborn infant. This is how the mother and infant become engaged with
each other and is the foundation for the relationship. Because bonding is a process and not a
single event, option B is incorrect. The process of bonding is not a year-long process, so option
C is incorrect. The family growing closer together after the birth of a new baby is not bonding,
so option D is incorrect.

c) Urinary tract infection
d) Increased urine output Correct Ans-Urinary tract infection
Correct
Explanation:
The nurse would need to monitor the client for signs and symptoms of a urinary tract
infection, a risk associated with catheterization. Stress incontinence is caused due to loss of
pelvic muscle tone after birth. Increased urinary output is observed in diuresis.
Catheterization does not cause loss of pelvic muscle tone, increased urine output, or stress
incontinence.

Solved
The patient trying to dry up her milk supply should do as little stimulation to the breast as
possible. She needs to wear a tight, supportive bra and use ice. Running warm water over the
breasts in the shower will only stimulate the secretion, and therefore the production, of milk.
Massaging the breasts will stimulate them to expel the milk and therefore produce more milk,
as will expressing small amounts of milk when the breasts are full.
