Answer to Question 1

1. Incorrect. Interventions and support from the nursing and medical staff after a prenatal loss are extremely important in the healing of the parents.
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.
4. Incorrect. Although this information may be relevant, it is not the most appropriate option at this time. Burial arrangements can be discussed after the infant is born.
