B. The client' blood contains the Rh factor and the newborn's does not and antibodies that destroy red

blood cells are formed in the fetus.


C. The client has a history of receiving a transfusion with Rh-negative blood.


D. The client's anti-A and anti-B antibodies cross the placenta and cause the destruction of the fetal red

blood cells. - Answer✔✔-A. The client's blood does not contain the Rh factor, she she produces anti-Rh

antibodies that cross the placental barrier and cause hemolysis of red blood cells in newborns.




If the Rh-negative client has been exposed to Rh-positive fetal blood, she will produce antibodies against

Rh factor. These antibodies can cross the placenta and destroy the red blood cells of the Rh-positive

fetus. This accelerated rate of red blood cell destruction results in the increased release of bilirubin. The

newborn's serum bilirubin level can rise quickly.

D. "The best way to determine if your baby can hear is to clap your hands loudly and see if she startles." -

Answer✔✔-C. "We do routine hearing screenings on newborns. You'll know the results before you leave

the hospital."

loss, but determine whether or not a newborn requires further evaluation.
