Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: letter d, Explain the defect and show the baby to the parents as soon as possible.

Explanation:

"Birth defects" are also known as "congenital anomalies." When a baby is born with an anomaly, it is best to tell the parents by explaining the defect and showing the baby to them as soon as possible. Telling the parents will allow them to acknowledge their emotions and lessen anxiety. It is also important for them to see the baby so they are assured of the baby's safety. In this case, it will allow them to stay calm while asking support from friends or asking an advice from the physician.

Thus, this explains the answer.
