Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Patients receiving Rho(D) immune globulin should be cautioned to avoid live vaccines for 3 months. Patients can experience hypersensitivity reactions to the immune globulin, and Rho(D) immune globulin crosses into breast milk. Women will need to have the immune globulin with future deliveries if the infant is Rh-positive.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Infants whose mothers are HBsAg-negative will need to receive recombinant hepatitis B vaccine. Immune globulin is given to infants whose mother's status is unknown or who are positive. All infants receive the hepatitis B vaccine.
