Answer to Question 1

B
The instructor would recognize that the students understand the difference if the students indicated that a mother experiencing postpartum psychosis would most likely experience delusions and hallucinations. Postpartum blues generally occurs within 3 to 10 days after delivery. The symptoms include feeling overwhelmed, tearful, fatigued, irritable, oversensitive, anxious, and having poor concentration or poor appetite. Postpartum depression occurs later than postpartum blues and can occur around the fourth week postpartum, and may occur anytime within the first year. Women who experiences postpartum psychosis loose touch with reality.

Answer to Question 2

A
Obtaining informed consent is a legal action required prior to an invasive procedure. Writing a nursing care plan is a responsible action on the part of the nurse, but it is not required prior to an invasive procedure. Explaining procedures to the husband is legally and ethically responsible, but it is not required prior to an invasive procedure, for instance in the absence of the significant other. Not all cesarean sections are performed due to fetal distress.
