Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a clinic is caring for a client who is 3 weeks postpartum following the birth of a healthy newborn. The client reports feeling “down” and sad, having no energy, and wanting to cry. Which of the following is a priority action by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The nurse should ask the client if she has considered harming her newborn as she is experiencing symptoms of postpartum depression. This is a critical step to assess the client's safety and the baby's well-being. Other choices are incorrect as B assumes the need for medication without further assessment, C focuses on teaching rather than immediate safety concerns, and D does not address the client's mental health state. By asking about harming the newborn, the nurse can assess the severity of the client's condition and provide appropriate interventions.
