A mother who is 3 days postpartum calls the clinic and complains of 'night sweats.' She is afraid that she is going into early menopause. The nurse should base her answer on the fact that
1) Birth may put some women into early menopause; an appointment is needed to have this checked out.
2) Night sweats may be an indication of many other problems; an appointment is needed to assess the problem.
3) Diaphoresis is normal during the postpartum period, and comfort measures can be suggested to the mother.
4) Diaphoresis is normal only if the mother is breastfeeding.
