Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: A home visit in 2 days will be helpful to assess feeding, but is too early to detect signs of postpartum depression.
Rationale 2: Two home visits in a month are too sporadic to accurately pick up postpartum depression.
Rationale 3: Postpartum depression has a high recurrence rate. Setting up an appointment with a mental health professional is the best option for a woman with a history of postpartum depression.
Rationale 4: Following up with the obstetrician in 6 weeks is too long a wait.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 4. The nurse must be sensitive to the cultural beliefs and values of the family and be aware of cultural variations in newborn care.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
