Passage / Scenario
A client with Rh-negative blood and Rh-positive partnerIt is determined that a client's blood Rh is negative and her partner's is positive. To help prevent Rh isoimmunization, the nurse would expect to administer Rho(D) immune globulin at which time?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Rho(D) immune globulin at 28 weeks and within 72 hours post-delivery prevents Rh isoimmunization effectively. Other schedules miss critical windows for blocking maternal antibody response.
