Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: This patient is Rh-negative, but there is no indication that the alloimmunization has occurred.
Rationale 2: An indirect Coombs' test looks for Rh antibodies in the maternal serum; a negative result indicates the patient has not been alloimmunized.
Rationale 3: A direct Coombs' test looks for Rh antibodies in the fetal blood circulation. A positive result indicates that that there is an Rh incompatibility between mother and infant, and the baby is making anti-Rh antibodies, which in turn leads to hemolysis. This infant is at risk for anemia and hyperbilirubinemia.
Rationale 4: This patient's blood type creates no problems.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Rh-negative mothers who give birth to Rh-positive infants should receive Rh immune globulin (RhoGAM) to prevent alloimmunization, which could cause fetal anemia and other complications during the next pregnancy.
Rationale 2: Rh-negative mothers who give birth to Rh-positive infants should receive Rh immune globulin (RhoGAM) to prevent alloimmunization.
Rationale 3: It is specifically the Rh factor that causes complications; ABO grouping does not cause alloimmunization.
Rationale 4: Rh-negative mothers who give birth to Rh-positive infants should receive Rh immune globulin (RhoGAM). The injection must be given with 72 hours after delivery to prevent alloimmunization.
