Which infant is most likely to have Rh incompatibility?
 
  a. Infant of an Rh-negative mother and a father who is Rh positive and homozygous
  for the Rh factor
  b. Infant who is Rh negative and whose mother is Rh negative
  c. Infant of an Rh-negative mother and a father who is Rh positive and heterozygous
  for the Rh factor
  d. Infant who is Rh positive and whose mother is Rh positive

Question 2

Which is the priority nursing diagnosis during the acute phase of burn injury for a child who has a third-degree circumferential burn of the right arm?
 
  1. Risk for infection
  2. Risk for altered tissue perfusion
  3. Risk for altered nutrition: less than body requirements
  4. Impaired physical mobility

Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A If the mother is Rh negative and the father is Rh positive and homozygous for
the Rh factor, all the offspring will be Rh positive. Only Rh-positive offspring of
an Rh-negative mother are at risk for Rh incompatibility.
B Only the Rh-positive offspring of an Rh-negative mother are at risk.
C If the mother is Rh negative and the father is Rh positive and heterozygous for
the factor, there is a 50 chance that each infant born of the union will be Rh
positive and a 50 chance that each will be born Rh negative.
D There is no risk for incompatibility with this scenario.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale:
1. When the burn is circumferential, blood flow can become restricted due to edema and result in tissue hypoxia; therefore, the priority diagnosis is a risk for altered tissue perfusion to the extremity. Risk for infection would have second priority in this case.
