In helping bereaved parents cope and move on, nurses should keep in mind that:
1. a perinatal or parent grief support group is more likely to be helpful if the needs of the parents are matched with the focus of the group.
2. when taking pictures of the infant for keepsakes, do not take close-ups of any congenital anomalies.
3. there are no significant differences in grieving individuals from the various cul-tures, ethnic groups, or religions.
4. in emergency situations, nurses who are so disposed must resist the temptation to baptize the infant in the absence of a priest or minister.

1. Correct. For example, a religious-based group may not work for nonreligious parents.
2. Incorrect. Close-up pictures of the baby must be taken as he/she was, congenital anoma-lies and all.
3. Incorrect. Although death and grieving are something all people share, mourning rituals, traditions, and taboos vary by culture, ethnicity, and religion. Differences must be respected.
4. Incorrect. Baptism for some religious groups can be performed by a layperson, such as a nurse, in an emergency situation when a priest is not available.
