ANS: A
If the nurse believes that the new mother is demonstrating signs and symptoms of postpartum depression, several depression screening tools are available, including the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory, Center for Epidemiological StudiesDepression, and Beck Depression Inventory II. Because they are highly predictive, these scales are valuable tools that can be combined with the informal interview during a routine post-birth checkup.
