Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When the mother with depression of postpartum onset has ruminations or delusional thoughts about the infant, the risk for harming the infant is increased; thus it becomes the priority diagnosis. The other diagnoses are relevant but are of lower priority.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Sleeping 6 hours, participating in a group activity, and anticipating an event are all positive happenings. All the other options show at least one negative finding.
