A 3-month-old infant was brought back to the unit after a surgery for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. The mother was very good in caring for the client but is reluctant with regard to feeding. Probably the mother is:

uncertain if her baby can tolerate the thickened formula.
not aware that her baby is allowed to resume feedings.
afraid that her baby will vomit again.
in doubt about the safety of the special nipple.

Explanation

Answer: C - Past experiences with projectile vomiting are frightening. It is the responsibility of the nurse to explain that it will not happen again. No special nipple is needed in this situation.
