When the glass in the greenhouse ceiling breaks, showering Marlene with the shards, she bends forward, covering her head. When they show her dead in a later shot, she is on her back, with cuts and blood all over her face and neck. [She falls forward, but it's possible that as she falls she twists. Or that she isn't dead when she hits the ground, and tries to roll over. Also, the glass is still falling around her, as are plants, so she could easily have gotten cuts after she's on the ground.]

Part way through the movie we find out that the nanny has been breast feeding the baby and used a breast pump to keep herself lactating until she had an opportunity to work for the family. But her own baby died at birth and she underwent an emergency hysterectomy. Under those circumstances her doctor would have given her something to stop her lactating and by the time she'd have been released from hospital her milk should have dried up.

Throughout the film, we see that Claire suffers from severe asthma and even the slightest distress can bring on a debilitating attack in which she can barely breathe or move. Yet during the final confrontation with Peyton, she has plenty of energy to fight to the death, even after being hit with a shovel, knocked to the ground, punched, stomped on, etc. And even worse, she's *still* perfectly fine after Peyton falls to her death and the fight is over. [She can probably get through all of this because of the adrenaline rush produced by the situation - she's fighting to protect her children, her husband, her life. People have developed amazing abilities in similar situations - it's not entirely inconceivable that she can shake off an attack.]
Claire has several asthma attacks throughout the film. Each of these are treated by spraying an inhaler in the general direction of her mouth, followed by her breathing in a second or two later. As anyone who has even seen someone use an inhaler (let alone used one themselves) would know, the inhaler outlet needs to be in the mouth with lips around it; you then breath in as you press down the spray. [As an asthma sufferer myself, I can say this is absolutely false. It depends on which method the prescribing doctor prefers. My doctor taught me the outlet should NEVER be in the mouth: the medication being a corticosteroid, it could lead to a yeast infections in the mouth. The medication should be puffed out about two inches from the mouth (but in its direction), then inhaled, which directs it all to your lungs instead of all around your mouth.]
