Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The most critical action a nurse can take to enhance bonding is to minimize the time the mother and her baby are separated while in the hospital. This policy would be most beneficial to promote bonding. The other ideas are good ones that might be helpful to some new mothers, but the critical action is to minimize separation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Emotional difficulties after birth include the baby blues, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis. The most important determinant rests with the knowledge that postpartum or baby blues do not interfere with the woman's ability to care for herself and her family. This question effectively triages the situation. Can you... is a yes-no question and is never a good type of question to use when assessing a situation. In both baby blues and depression, appetite may be diminished.
