The nurse is teaching a class on perinatal loss to student nurses. The nurse is discussing the relationship between attachment and the grief response, explaining that:
1. The mother has no attachment to the fetus before it is born.
2. The severity of the grieving has nothing to do with attachment to the fetus.
3. The intensity of the grief response can be assessed by determining the level of attachment to the anticipated infant.
4. The mother would feel grief only if it were a planned pregnancy.

Rationale 1: Mothers feel great attachment to the unborn fetus, especially once movement is felt.
Rationale 2: There is a relationship between attachment and grieving.
Rationale 3: It is believed that the level of grief is directly related to the level of attachment that the mother feels to the unborn fetus.
Rationale 4: The degree of planning would have little bearing on the level of grief.
