Summary
The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine develops clinical guidelines for breastfeeding care. These protocols are inclusive of all individuals who breastfeed, chestfeed, or provide human milk.
Area of Science:
- Clinical Medicine
- Public Health
Background:
- The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine (ABM) aims to create clinical protocols for common issues affecting breastfeeding.
- These protocols are intended as guidelines, not rigid standards of care, allowing for individualized patient needs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline the ABM's commitment to developing inclusive clinical protocols.
- To ensure that guidelines support all individuals who feed human milk, regardless of gender identity.
Main Methods:
- Review and affirmation of the ABM's established position on inclusivity.
- Emphasis on interpreting clinical protocols within a framework that embraces all human milk feeders.
Main Results:
- ABM protocols are guidelines, not exclusive treatment standards.
- The ABM advocates for gender-inclusive language and interpretation of protocols.
Conclusions:
- ABM clinical protocols support breastfeeding, chestfeeding, and human milk feeding for all individuals.
- The ABM is dedicated to inclusive practices in infant and maternal care guidelines.

Nursing management of pneumonia involves promoting airway patency, facilitating rest and conserving energy, encouraging fluid intake, maintaining nutrition, and educating patients.
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed....

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...
