Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is at 15 weeks of gestation, is Rh-negative, and has just had an amniocentesis. Which of the following interventions is the nurse's priority following the procedure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Administer Rho(
D) immune globulin. This is the priority intervention following an amniocentesis in an Rh-negative client at 15 weeks gestation to prevent Rh isoimmunization. Administering Rho(
D) immune globulin helps prevent the mother's immune system from forming antibodies against Rh-positive fetal blood cells, which could lead to hemolytic disease in the newborn. Checking the client's temperature (
A) is not the priority as there is no immediate risk related to the procedure. Observing for uterine contractions (
B) is important but not the priority immediately post-procedure. Monitoring the FHR (
D) is important but not the priority at this time.
