Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse midwife would best assess for postpartum depression using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale during each of the three visits. This scale is a commonly used short screening instrument that has been shown to perform well in detecting postpartum depression.

Answer to Question 2

B
The Whitehall II study in the United Kingdom showed that persons with mild depression had the kinds of abnormalities in small arteries that are often associated with the development of coronary disease and similar cardiovascular disorders. More recent studies continue to document a significant association between depression and cardiac disorders.
