cross matching

Answer 37

testing to make sure donor blood is compatible

Question 38

Erythroblastosis fetalis

Answer 38

Mother is Rh- and baby is Rh+

• first pregnancy: mother starts building antibodies against Rh factor
• second pregnancy: mother’s body will try to reject baby, baby can be born with hemolytic disease, baby is anemic, hypoxic, brain damage if left untreated
• treatment: transfusing the baby at birth
