The Apgar score is based on which 5 parameters?.

The correct answer is choice D.

Choice A rationale:

While some mothers with postpartum depression may have thoughts of harming their infant, it’s not the most common manifestation.

Choice B rationale:

Postpartum depression typically begins within the first few weeks after childbirth, not necessarily within 48 hours.

Choice C rationale:

Psychotic behavior is more commonly associated with postpartum psychosis, a rare and severe form of postpartum psychiatric illness, not postpartum depression.

Choice D rationale:

Women with a history of depression are indeed more likely to experience postpartum depression. This is the correct answer.

The correct answer is choice A.

Choice A rationale:

Variable decelerations are associated with problems with the umbilical cord, such as compression. This is because they occur irregularly and can happen at any time during the contraction cycle.

Choice B rationale:

Early decelerations are usually benign and are associated with fetal head compression during a uterine contraction. They are not typically indicative of a problem with the umbilical cord.

Choice C rationale:

Accelerations are usually a sign of fetal well-being and are not typically associated with umbilical cord issues.

Choice D rationale:

Late decelerations are associated with uteroplacental insufficiency, which is a decrease in the blood flow to the placenta that reduces the amount of oxygen and nutrients transferred to the fetus. They are not typically indicative of a problem with the umbilical cord.
