Question 1 of 5

The postpartum client delivered a healthy newborn 36 hours previously. The nurse finds the client crying and asks what is wrong. The client replies, “Nothing, really. I’m not in pain or anything, but I just seem to cry a lot for no reason.” What should be the nurse’s first intervention?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The client’s support person should be given information about postpartum blues before the client is discharged from the hospital. However, contacting that individual should not be the first intervention. Reminding the client that she has a healthy baby is a nontherapeutic communication technique that implies disapproval of the client’s actions. There is no need to notify the HCP, as postpartum blues is a common self-limiting postpartum occurrence. A key feature of postpartum blues is episodic tearfulness without an identifiable reason. Interventions for postpartum blues include allowing the client to relive her birth experience.
