Ati lpn ob maternal newborn ( 28 Questions)

A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client who is 2 days postpartum and has a history of postpartum depression.Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?



Correct Answer: D

Choice A rationale

 

Staying home until one week after delivery is not a specific intervention for postpartum depression. Social support and monitoring are more effective strategies.

 

Choice B rationale

 

While adequate rest is important, advising to sleep as much as possible is not a targeted intervention for postpartum depression. Structured support and counseling are more beneficial.

 

Choice C rationale

 

Returning to work two weeks after delivery is not advisable for someone with a history of postpartum depression. Early return to work can increase stress and exacerbate symptoms.

 

Choice D rationale

 

Contacting a crisis counselor once a week provides structured support and monitoring, which is crucial for managing postpartum depression. Regular counseling helps in early identification and management of symptoms.
