Which woman is the best candidate for induced lactation?
  1. The surrogate mother who gave birth to the baby.
  2. An adoptive mother who has had a complete hysterectomy.
  3. An adoptive mother who is taking birth control.
  4. The surrogate mother who is taking supplemental estrogen.
Explanation
Answer: B - An adoptive mother who has had a complete hysterectomy is the best candidate for induced lactation. An adoptive mother will not lactate without induced lactation, and despite the hysterectomy, she will be able to lactate with induced lactation. There is no reason for a surrogate mother to lactate. Estrogen, and birth control medications inhibit lactation.
