Scenario Description

AnaLee Diaz is a Hispanic non-english speaking female and a single parent who delivered her first child in the U.S. six weeks ago. She is doing well physically but her sister called the OB/GYN office and shared that she is concerned about AnaLee’s abnormal behavior and lowered mood. They believe that a lack of a proper “la cuarentena”–a 40-day postpartum rest period that is traditionally facilitated by the women of the extended family–could be the reason behind AnaLee’s apparent depressed state. Learners must obtain the patient’s vital signs and use soft skills to talk with the patient in an attempt to get her to disclose feelings about PP depression and infant bonding.
