Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who is postpartum and has a prescription for Rho (D) immunoglobulin.
Question 1 of 5
The nurse should verify which of the following prior to administration?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the Rh factor is inherited. If the mother is Rh negative and the newborn is Rh positive, it can lead to Rh incompatibility issues. The mother's immune system may produce antibodies against the baby's Rh-positive blood, causing hemolytic disease of the newborn. This can result in severe anemia and jaundice in the baby.
Therefore, it is crucial to verify the mother's Rh status and the newborn's Rh status to prevent complications.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not address the risk of Rh incompatibility.
