A nurse is caring for a postpartum client who delivered their third infant two days ago.

Which of the following manifestations could indicate postpartum depression? (Select all that apply.)



Correct Answer: ["B","D","E"]

The correct answer is choice B and D. Postpartum depression is a type of mood disorder that affects some people after giving birth. It can cause symptoms such as depressed mood, insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, irritability, difficulty bonding with the baby and flat affect. Flat affect means having a lack of emotional expression or showing little interest in anything.

Choice A is wrong because fatigue is a common symptom of postpartum depression, not an indication of it.

Choice C is wrong because euphoria is the opposite of depression. It means feeling extremely happy or excited.

Choice E is wrong because delusions are a sign of postpartum
