Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 4. Even with the current length-of-stay laws, many newborns do not always receive the recommended follow-up care when they go home early. The health and stability of the mother and baby, the mother's ability and confidence regarding self and newborn care, support systems available, and access to follow-up care should form the basis of the decision.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 4, 5
Explanation: 1. The use of sequential compression devices (SCDs) and early ambulation are essential to the prevention of deep vein thrombosis, especially if the client had a cesarean birth.
2. Ambulation should be encouraged as soon as possible to prevent pneumonia.
4. The new mother may need extra supervision and assistance when breastfeeding her baby to ensure newborn safety.
5. The obese client has needs similar to all postpartum client, but she needs special attention to prevent injury, respiratory complications, thromboembolic disease, and infection, for which she is at high risk.
