The patient with blood type A, Rh-negative, delivered yesterday. Her infant is blood type AB, Rh-positive. Which statement indicates that teaching has been effective?
 
  1. I need to get RhoGAM so I don't have problems with my next pregnancy.
  2. Because my baby is Rh-positive, I don't need RhoGAM.
  3. If my baby had the same blood type I do, it might cause complications.
  4. Before my next pregnancy, I will need to have a RhoGAM shot.

Rationale 1: Rh-negative mothers who give birth to Rh-positive infants should receive Rh immune globulin (RhoGAM) to prevent alloimmunization, which could cause fetal anemia and other complications during the next pregnancy.
Rationale 2: If the baby is Rh-negative, the mother does not need RhoGAM.
Rationale 3: It is specifically the Rh factor that causes complications; ABO grouping does not cause alloimmunization.
Rationale 4: The injection must be given with 72 hours after delivery to prevent alloimmunization.
