A CLE is designing a breastfeeding support program for a refugee population. Which startup consideration is MOST unique to this group?
Answer: Language access, cultural breastfeeding norms, and trauma-informed approaches
Refugee populations may face language barriers, hold culturally distinct breastfeeding practices, and have trauma histories that require specialized, culturally humble approaches.
Which statement about informed consent in a lactation education program is CORRECT?
Answer: Participants should understand program purpose, their rights, and data use before enrolling
Ethical program practice requires that participants are fully informed about the program, what data will be collected, and how it will be used before they agree to participate.
A CLE identifies that teen mothers are underserved in her hospital's lactation program. The BEST approach to address this during startup is to:
Answer: Develop age-appropriate, peer-inclusive curriculum tailored to adolescent developmental needs
Adolescents have distinct developmental, social, and communicative needs that require program adaptation for effective engagement and outcomes.
A CLE is establishing documentation practices for a new outpatient lactation clinic. Which practice is MOST important for continuity of care?
Answer: Using a standardized intake and visit note format integrated with the medical record system
Standardized documentation integrated with the medical record ensures all care team members have access to relevant lactation information, supporting coordinated care.
A CLE is planning a virtual lactation education program. Which feasibility factor is UNIQUE to the virtual format?
Answer: Whether participants have access to reliable internet and devices
Virtual programs require that participants have adequate internet connectivity and appropriate devices, which can be a significant equity barrier.
When selecting a location for a community breastfeeding support group, which factor is MOST likely to affect attendance among low-income mothers?
Answer: Proximity to public transportation and childcare availability
Transportation access and childcare are among the most significant structural barriers to program participation for low-income families.
A CLE completes a feasibility study and concludes the proposed program is NOT currently feasible. The MOST appropriate action is to:
Answer: Document findings, identify which barriers could be addressed, and revisit the plan when conditions change
A negative feasibility finding is valuable data; documenting barriers and revisiting the plan when conditions improve is more responsible than forcing an unsustainable launch.
