2.A G2P1 client at 28 weeks' gestation who gave birth to an Rh-positive baby two years ago.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The midwife administers RhoGAM to all four clients. RhoGAM prevents the Rh-negative mother from producing antibodies to Rh-positive fetal blood cells and threatening the survival of future Rh-positive neonates. RhoGAM must be administered to all pregnant clients between the 26th and 28th weeks of gestation as a prophylaxis and within 72 hours after delivery. Other clients who should receive a RhoGAM injection include clients with ectopic pregnancies, clients who develop bleeding due to routine tests and clients who have just had an abortion.
