Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 3. Prolonged retention of the dead fetus may lead to the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), also called consumption coagulopathy, in the mother.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3
Explanation: 1. After bathing, the infant should be placed in a suitable-sized gown and then wrapped in a blanket. Many parents will eventually remove the covering to inspect the infant; however, applying a covering allows them time to adjust to the appearance at their own pace.
3. A hat can be applied to cover birth defects. This allows the parents an opportunity to view the infant before seeing the birth defect.
