Answer to Question 1

1; 3
Rationale:
1. Wrapping the infant in a blanket and applying a hat will allow the parents an opportunity to view the infant before seeing any defects or extensive bruising. Most 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.
2. Removing blankets from the infant would not be appropriate.
