Answer to Question 1

B
The side-lying position makes midline orientation easier and allows opportunities for the infant to engage in sucking and self-calming behaviors. The prone position does not mimic the intrauterine position. Positions should provide for midline orientation. The supine position for the preterm infant is usually for providing nursing care.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Nurses must use dead and died to assist the bereaved in accepting reality.
B Although naming the baby can be helpful, it is important not to create the sense that parents have to name the baby. In fact, some cultural taboos and religious rules prohibit the naming of an infant who has died.
C Presenting the baby in a nice way stimulates the parents' senses and provides pleasant memories of their baby.
D Parents need different time periods with their baby to say goodbye. Nurses need to be careful not to rush the process.
