medium · NCLEX-RN psychosocial
A client on the postpartum unit is crying and says, "I don't think I can take care of this baby; I feel like a failure.” The nurse notes the client has a flat affect and has not showered in two days.
What is the most appropriate nursing response?
- "It sounds like you are feeling very overwhelmed. Tell me more about what you mean by feeling like a failure."
- "You shouldn't feel that way; you have a beautiful, healthy baby!"
- "I'll take the baby to the nursery so you can get some sleep and feel better.", based on the current findings.
- "Everything will be fine once your hormones level out in a few days.", for this client, at this point in care.
