reinforcing the need to take antipsychotics as prescribed is not the priority action.

While medication is an important part of the treatment for postpartum psychosis, it is not as urgent as ensuring the safety of the client and her infant.

Ask the client if she has feelings of harming herself or her infant. This is because postpartum psychosis is a mental health emergency that affects a person’s sense of reality and can cause hallucinations, delusions, paranoia or other behavior changes. People with postpartum psychosis have a much higher risk of harming themselves, dying by suicide or harming their children.

Therefore, the priority action is to assess the safety of the client and her infant and intervene if needed.

monitoring the infant for indications of failure to thrive is not the priority action.

While failure to thrive can be a complication of postpartum psychosis, it is not as immediate as the risk of self-harm or infanticide.

 reviewing the client’s medical record for a history of bipolar disorder is not the priority action. While bipolar disorder is a risk factor for postpartum psychosis, it is not as critical as assessing the client’s current mental state and potential for harm.
