MERTRNAL NEWBORN EXAM2.docx
6 . Rho immune globulin will be ordered postpartum if which situation occurs? a. Mother Rh?2-, baby Rh+ c. Mother Rh+, baby Rh+ b. Mother Rh?2-, baby Rh?2- d. Mother Rh+, baby Rh?2- Ans A Rh?2- mother delivering an Rh+ baby may develop antibodies to fetal cells that entered her bloodstream when the placenta separated. The Rho immune globulin works to destroy the fetal cells in the maternal circulation before sensitization occurs. If mother and baby are both Rh+ or Rh?2- the blood types are alike, so no antibody formation would be anticipated. If the Rh+ blood of the mother comes in contact with the Rh?2- blood of the infant, no antibodies would develop because the antigens are in the mother's blood, not the infant's.
