Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Food brought from home is a welcome sign of caring in many cultures. Some Asians believe that after childbirth the woman should eat only hot foods such as chicken, meat, and fish. Fresh fruit would be considered a cold food. Although ice water is commonly given to hospital clients, it is not acceptable to many Asians. For example, Southeast Asian women may refuse cold or ice water and prefer hot water or other warm beverages to keep warm.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
This client is exhibiting symptoms that are consistent with postpartum depression, so she should be given priority intervention to maintain client safety.
