When providing postmortem care, why would the nurse place dentures in the mouth and close the eyes and mouth of the patient within 2 to 4 hours after death?
 
  1) To prevent blood from settling in the head, neck, and shoulders
  2) To perform these actions more easily before rigor mortis develops
  3) To set the mouth in a natural position for viewing by the family
  4) To prevent discoloration caused by blood settling in the facial area
