Answer to Question 1

Explanation: 3. Direct Coombs' test is done on the infant's blood to detect antibody-coated Rh-positive RBCs. If the mother's indirect Coombs' test is positive and her Rh-positive infant has a positive direct Coombs' test, Rh immune globulin is not given; in this case, the infant is carefully monitored for hemolytic disease.
