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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Ask the client if she has considered harming her newborn. This is the priority action because the client is displaying symptoms of postpartum depression, which can lead to harmful thoughts or actions towards the newborn. By asking this question, the nurse can assess the client's risk for harm and provide necessary interventions to ensure the safety of both the client and the newborn. Anticipating antidepressant prescription (
A) is not the priority at this moment as immediate safety concerns need to be addressed first. Reinforcing postpartum and newborn care teaching (
C) and assisting the family to identify positive coping skills (
D) are important but not as urgent as addressing potential harm.
