177 Trauma in Pregnancy & Postpartum Psychiatric Disorders for the PANCE
A pregnant woman says she fell, and her partner answers every question for her. Four days after delivery, a new mom cries easily. A week after delivery, another says her baby is evil. Each is a classic PANCE setup with a wrong answer that sounds reasonable.
