Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

The injection of Rh immune globulin prevents sensitization in Rh-negative mothers who have given birth to Rh-positive infants if administered at 28 weeks' gestation and within 72 hours of delivery, abortion, or genetic amniocentesis. Antihistamines, alpha-interferon, or infliximab is not used in this situation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

DIC hemorrhage results from an insufficiency of clotting proteins after large-scale coagulation. It is not a result of physical irritation, organ overload, or bacteria and hormones.
