Maria Sanchez , 20-year-old female, G1 T1 P0 A0 L1. Maria had an uncomplicated pregnancy and normal spontaneous vaginal delivery at 39 weeks. She delivered a 3500 Gram male infant, Juan. Maria is at the clinic for her 6-week post-partum visit. Maria shares with the nurse she is feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Maria states she attempted to breastfeed but quit because “Juan ate all of the time and cried most of the day.” Maria’s grandmother requested the Curanderos visit the house to guide Le Cuarentena. Maria explains Le Cuarentena is a period of 40 days after a baby is born during which time the mother should do nothing but take care of herself and the baby. Maria said, “grandmother told me Juan has colic because I did not eat the right hot foods after Juan was born and that the breastfeeding trouble was too much during the Le Cuarentena.” Maria tearfully expresses, “I failed as a mother.” Medications: NKDA Prenatal vitamins and herbs from the Curanderos Social history: Maria lives in a multigenerational home with her husband, Raul; 6-week infant, Juan; her mother and grandmother. Maria and her family primarily speak Spanish; today’s visit includes an agency interpreter. The nurse recognizes that Maria appears anxious and is concerned about Maria’s comments. The nurse suspects postpartum depression. The nurse administers the PHQ9 questionnaire and Maria scores a 17. Which are appropriate nursing actions?
