reinforcing the need to take antipsychotics as prescribed is not the nurse’s priority.

While medication is an important part of treatment for PPP, it is not enough to ensure the safety of the mother and the baby. The nurse should also monitor the patient’s response to medication and report any adverse effects or non-compliance.

Ask the client if they have had thoughts of harming themselves or their infant. This is because postpartum psychosis (PPP) is a serious mental health condition that can affect someone soon after giving birth and can cause psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions. People with PPP have a much higher risk of harming themselves, dying by suicide or harming their children.
