Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The patient most likely to receive Rho(D) immune globulin is a pregnant patient who is Rh negative.
These responses are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The serum cyclosporine level should be drawn just prior to the next dose.
The level would be too high if the sample is drawn just 2 hours after the dose is given.
Six hours after the dose is not appropriate, because dosage adjustment is based on trough levels.
Timing is relevant to determining the correct dosage.
