Mixing Embalming Fluids

Mildred is 58 years old and died after falling down the stairs when she tripped on her crutches. Mildred was using crutches because she had severe foot problems due to uncontrolled diabetes. The fall left her with a large gash across her forehead, a fracture in the temporal bone of the skull, black eyes, and many bruises. She was transferred to the morgue where the medical examiner performed a complete autopsy.

Mildred is not being viewed, however, her burial will not take place for 2 weeks after her death. What fluids would you use? and why?
