Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A An Rh mother delivering an Rh+ baby may develop antibodies to fetal cells that
entered her bloodstream when the placenta separated. The Rho immune globulin
works to destroy the fetal cells in the maternal circulation before sensitization
occurs.
B The blood types are alike, so no antibody formation would be anticipated.
C The blood types are alike, so no antibody formation would be anticipated.
D If the Rh+ blood of the mother comes in contact with the Rh blood of the
infant, no antibodies would develop because the antigens are in the mother's
blood, not the infant's.

Answer to Question 2
