Mary is a 17-year-old primigravida who delivered

Mary is a 17-year-old primigravida who delivered a baby girl by vaginal delivery two weeks ago. She has been breastfeeding with no problems since she was born. She developed increasing firmness and swelling in her left breast that is causing increasing pain and noticed that her nipples developed cracks two days ago. She made an appointment to see her obstetrician because she had a fever and chills that began this morning and had breast pain that became “unbearable” whenever she tried to breastfeed. Mary is motivated to be a good mom. She has six weeks off before she has to return to work at Subway. She lives with her parents and the father of the baby is not involved. She is alone most of the time while her parents are at work and has lots of questions about caring for and feeding her baby. What patient history has clinical significance to the nurse and why?
