Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Moist heat with a sitz bath is an effective way to increase circulation to the perineum, provide comfort, reduce edema, and promote healing. Sitz baths do not cause postpartal infections. Sitz baths do not cause perineal vasoconstriction and decreased bleeding. Every use of a sitz bath is therapeutic.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The new mother is asking the nurse to validate actions being performed while providing newborn care. The nursing diagnosis most appropriate for the new mother at this time would be health-seeking behaviors related to care of the newborn. The new mother is not demonstrating signs of ineffective coping. There is no information to support a risk for altered family coping or risk for impaired parenting.
