  2. This is a normal occurrence called pseudomenstruation caused by the loss of maternal hormones.
  3. Did you scratch the baby when you changed her diaper?
  4. I will need to take the baby to the nursery and notify Social Services.

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Pseudomenstruation is a normal occurrence that results from the withdrawal of the mother's hormones, and can be a onetime occurrence or could last for a few days.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Clients with iron-deficiency anemia often report fatigue as the result of inadequate levels of hemoglobin needed to transport oxygen to the tissues. The other symptoms are not associated with iron-deficiency anemia.
