Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Chatting on the phone with friends indicates that the patient is not becoming isolated with baby care. This will help prevent the onset of postpartum depression. Fatigue, listlessness, and trying to be perfect with cleaning are observations that could indicate postpartum depression.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The patient who is breastfeeding should not be prescribed antibiotics that are incompatible with breastfeeding. The patient should be instructed to observe for problems in their infant, such as white plaques or thrush in their infant's mouth that can occur when a portion of the maternal antibiotic passes into breast milk and causes an overgrowth of fungal organisms in the infant. Antibiotics will not typically cause jaundice. Irritability may or may not be because of the mother taking antibiotics. Decreased sleep levels are not typically associated with maternal antibiotic use.
