Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
For women with abruption, previa, caesarean births, or manual placental removal, more than 15 mL of fetal-maternal hemorrhage of Rh-positive red blood cells may have occurred, necessitating an increased dose of D immune globulin.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
To prevent the risk of infection, infants are treated with erythromycin ophthalmic ointment. Chemical conjunctivitis may occur in 20 of infants as an adverse effect of the drug. It is not used as a moisturizer. It is given as prophylaxis not treatment.
