Answer to Question 1

C
Chromosomal disorders and congenital infection are the two common intrinsic factors that lead to symmetric IUGR, with chromosomal disorders the most common cause. Birth injuries, cardiac anomalies and microcephaly are not related to intrauterine growth restriction.

Answer to Question 2

2; 4; 5
Rationale:
1. Planning the child's care alone might result in an excessive burden of guilt.
2. Team decisions, mentorship, and support groups all alleviate the responsibility of providing nursing care and coping with the death of a child alone.
3. Distancing oneself from the family can result in unresolved grief.
4. Team decisions, mentorship, and support groups all alleviate the responsibility of providing nursing care and coping with the death of a child alone.
5. Team decisions, mentorship, and support groups all alleviate the responsibility of providing nursing care and coping with the death of a child alone.
