Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: Postpartum depression is not the normal depression that many new mothers experi-ence from time to time. The client experiencing depression shows less interest in her surroundings and a loss of her usual emotional response toward the family. The client also is unable to show pleasure or love and may have intense feelings of unworthiness, guilt, and shame. The client often expresses a sense of loss of self. Generalized fatigue, complaints of ill health, and difficulty in concentrating also are present. The client would have little interest in food and experience sleep disturbances.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: Edema of the stump is controlled by elevating the foot of the bed for the first 24 hours after surgery. After the first 24 hours, the stump is placed flat on the bed to reduce hip contracture. Edema is also controlled by stump wrapping techniques.
