Ineffective Breastfeeding Nursing Interventions and Rationales

Nursing Interventions and Rationales Refer to care plan for Effective Breastfeeding 1. Assess for presence/absence of related factors or conditions that would preclude breastfeeding. Some conditions (e.g. certain maternal drugs, maternal HIV-positive status, infant galactosemia) may preclude breastfeeding, in which case the infant needs to be started on a safe alternative method of feeding (Riordan, Auerbach, 2000; Lawrence, 2000). 2. Assess breast and nipple structure. Normal nipple and breast structure or early detection and treatment of abnormalities with continuing support are important for successful breastfeeding (Vogel, Hutchison, Mitchell, 1999). 3. Evaluate and record the mother's ability to position, give cues, and help the infant latch on. Correct positioning and getting the infant to latch on is critical for getting breastfeeding off to a good start and contributes to breastfeeding success (Duffy, Percival, Kershaw, 1997; Brandt, Andrews, Kvale, 1998)
