Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Gaining a concept of permanence also contributes to 8th-month anxiety, a stage in which infants continue to cry for their parents because they know their parents still exist even when out of sight. Crying when the mother leaves the room does not indicate confusion, reversibility, or assimilation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Postpartum blues are manifested by mild depressive symptoms of anxiety, irritability, mood swings, tearfulness, increased sensitivity, feelings of being overwhelmed, and fatigue. They are usually self-limiting and require no formal treatment other than reassurance and validation of the woman's experience as well as assistance in caring for herself and her newborn. Postpartum depression is a major depressive episode associated with childbirth. Postpartum psychosis is at the severe end of the continuum of postpartum emotional disorders. Bipolar disorder refers to a mood disorder typically involving episodes of depression and mania.
