After receiving her Rho(D) immune globulin injection, a client says, Ouch, that shot hurts bad. I had to get it at the doctor's office, too. I'm glad I won't have to get that shot ever again.

The nurse's best response to the client would be, a. Actually, getting this shot now will only destroy any antibodies you have made so far, but you will need it again if more antibodies are made.
b. Actually, it will prevent you from forming antibodies now, but you may need it again in the future if you have other pregnancies.
c. You're right, it will provide protection throughout your childbearing years.
d. You're right, now that you have received this injection you will make antibodies against Rh-positive red blood cells.

The most appropriate response by the nurse would be, Actually, it will prevent you from forming antibodies now, but you may need it again in the future if you have other pregnancies. This statement accurately answers the mother's question. The other three options are all false statements.

Answer to Question 2

A
According to census data, the divorce rate per 1,000 total population is 3.5.
