A nurse is caring for a newborn 1 hour following birth in the emergency unit.

Exhibits

Select the 5 findings the nurse should report to the provider.

Choice A rationale

A family history of breast cancer, particularly in a close relative like a sister, is a significant risk factor for breast cancer.

Choice B rationale

Exposure to radiation, particularly in the chest area, increases the risk of developing breast cancer.

Choice C rationale

Current use of oral contraceptives can slightly increase the risk of breast cancer, though the risk diminishes after stopping the pills.

Choice D rationale

Age less than 25 years is not a risk factor for breast cancer; risk increases with age.

Choice A rationale

Postpartum blues typically resolve within the first two weeks postpartum and involve mild symptoms like mood swings and irritability. In contrast, postpartum depression can persist longer and requires treatment.

Choice B rationale

Symptoms of postpartum blues usually disappear without medical intervention, whereas postpartum depression often needs professional treatment to manage the more severe and persistent symptoms.

Choice C rationale

Postpartum depression can impair a mother's ability to care for herself and her baby safely, requiring intervention to prevent harm. Postpartum blues do not typically cause such severe functional impairment.

Choice D rationale

Postpartum depression may require antidepressants for treatment due to its severity. Postpartum blues generally do not necessitate such interventions and are managed through support and reassurance.

Choice E rationale

Postpartum depression can occur at any time within the first 12 months after delivery, while postpartum blues are usually confined to the initial two weeks postpartum.
