The nurse brings the neonate into the new mother's room and finds her crying.
 
  When she sees the baby, she wipes her eyes and smiles and is soon pointing out the baby's best features to the nurse and asking, Isn't she the cutest baby you've seen in a long time? and laughing. The nurse interprets the client's behavior as: 1. Postpartum blues.
  2. Postpartum depression.
  3. Postpartum psychosis.
  4. Postpartum bipolar disorder.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Postpartum blues is seen in most women, and is characterized by mild depression interspersed with happy feelings.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The client at greatest risk, according to research, is the African-American woman whose risk is greatest without other risk factors; adding in the risk factors of increased weight and the high fat and salt content found in traditional foods of her culture make the risk even greater. The adolescent is at lower risk because of her age; lifestyle choices would need to be assessed. Caucasian men and women frequently develop hypertension, but are at lower risk than African Americans.
