QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
(VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADY GRADED A+
Back to birth weight by day 12-14 days
Stool - CORRECT ANSWER 4 on 4 until one month of
age
6 wet diapers
Breastfeeding disparities - CORRECT ANSWER
hospitals in minority neighborhoods do less to
promote nursing
Breastfeeding targets - CORRECT ANSWER
increasing the proportion of employers with worksite
lactation programs
reduce the percentage of bf infants who receive formula
before 2 days of age
Cells that make milk - CORRECT ANSWER alveolar
Surrounds the alveolar cells and squeezes milk out of
pocket and into the ducts (smooth muscle) - CORRECT
ANSWER myoepithelial cells
Surrounds the myoepithelial cells ; veiny in appearance -
CORRECT ANSWER capillary network
Secretes milk / colostrum + sebum - CORRECT
ANSWER montgomery glands
-antimicrobial and sticky
Major lactation hormones - CORRECT ANSWER 1.
Prolactin (anterior pituitary)
2. Oxytocin (posterior pituitary)
Prolactin - CORRECT ANSWER all humans have it
,increased secretion and increased responsiveness
postpartum
T4 - CORRECT ANSWER innervates the nipples
Intercostal / thoracic nerves (T3 / T5) - CORRECT
ANSWER innervates the breast
Bout - CORRECT ANSWER nipple stimulation
dependent
Interbout interval - CORRECT ANSWER message to
make milk receeds without nipple stimulation
lengthening this interval decreases the amount of prolactin
produced at the next feeding
Hormones during pregnancy - CORRECT ANSWER
progesterone blocks the receptor sites on alveolar
cells
Delivery of placenta - CORRECT ANSWER the sudden
decrease in progesterone and estrogen allows
prolactin to slot into the receptor sites once infant
begins suckling
within the first 2 hours
Mothers of premies - CORRECT ANSWER initiation of
milk expression before 1 hour resulted in significantly
more mik when measured on Day 7 and 42
Oxytocin - CORRECT ANSWER hits receptors on
myoepithelial cells stimulates contractions pushes
milk out of alveoli / contracts uterus
Triggers for oxytocin - CORRECT ANSWER
Conditioned response, conditioned milk ejection (Let
Down reflex)
Oxytocin release mechanism (Nipple stretching with
proper latch)
Baby hand massage
, Emotional / behavioral function of hormones - CORRECT
ANSWER aggression in terms of protection of baby
bonding
trust
Species with increased fat / protein and decreased water
content - CORRECT ANSWER infrequent feeds
Species with increased water content - CORRECT
ANSWER more frequent feeds
All mammal milk contains - CORRECT ANSWER
lactose
What triggers production of lactose in mammary cells -
CORRECT ANSWER prolactin
What does lactose do - CORRECT ANSWER is the
driving osmotic force to draw water into the milk
Different care patterns - CORRECT ANSWER
Associated with the type of milk composition
1. Nest / cache
2. Carry, follow, hibernate
Most rapidly developing organ in human newborns -
CORRECT ANSWER the brain
human milk = ideal for brain growth
Human Milk Composition - CORRECT ANSWER Protein
1.2%
Fat 3.8%
CHO 7%
Water 87.6%
One of the highest levels of lactose --> very diluted
Human care patterns - CORRECT ANSWER milk
composition is more suitable for carrier
society is more consistent with nesters
Stages of lactogenesis - CORRECT ANSWER
