A woman is pregnant for the first time and is Rh negative. Her husband is Rh positive. She tells the nurse that he is very worried about her baby. Which information should the nurse plan to include when talking with this woman?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The first Rh-positive baby is typically unaffected as maternal antibodies develop post-delivery. RhoGAM is given after birth to prevent issues in future pregnancies, not after the second baby.
