The correct answer is choice B. Encourage the client to talk about her feelings and listen empathetically.

This action shows respect for the client’s emotions and helps her process her experience.

It also allows the nurse to provide support and reassurance.

Choice A is wrong because it dismisses the client’s feelings and implies that she should not be upset.

This can make the client feel guilty or invalidated.

Choice C is wrong because it blames the client for having unrealistic and unachievable expectations.

This can make the client feel ashamed or defensive.

Choice D is wrong because it suggests that the client needs professional counselling to cope with her emotions.

This can make the client feel stigmatized or abnormal.

Normal ranges for postpartum emotions vary depending on the individual and the circumstances.

However, some signs of postpartum depression or post-traumatic stress disorder include persistent sadness, anxiety, anger, guilt, flashbacks, nightmares, insomnia, loss of interest, difficulty bonding with the baby, or thoughts of harming oneself or the baby.

These symptoms should be reported to a healthcare provider as soon as possible.
