Answer to Question 1

2. Incorrect. Although this may be an intervention, the initial intervention should be directly related to the parents wishes in regards to seeing or holding their dead infant.
3. Correct. It may be helpful for mothers and fathers to see the infant after delivery. Par-ents' wishes should be respected.
