ATI Mental Health Exam 3 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A mother (G1 P1 T1 PO AO L1) diagnosed with postpartum depression expresses feelings of hopelessness. Which nursing diagnosis is the priority?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Risk for self-harm. This is the priority nursing diagnosis because the mother's expression of hopelessness indicates a potential risk for harming herself. This diagnosis takes precedence over the others because self-harm poses the most immediate threat to her well-being. Ineffective coping (choice
A) could contribute to the risk for self-harm but is not as urgent. Risk for impaired parenting (choice
B) and anxiety (choice
C) are important considerations but do not address the immediate safety concern of self-harm. Thus, they are not the priority at this time.
