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.
