Discussion Group B:

 Postpartum:
Susan P. had a SVD (spontaneous vaginal delivery) today approximately 2 hours ago. The labor and delivery nurse is calling to give you report. She is new and not sure what you want to know from her.   What questions do you need to ask to provide comprehensive care to this patient once she is transferred into your care?   Group A Response
Note that you discover that Susan is Rh negative, her baby is Rh positive. What now?   Please discuss Rhogam. The drug, the need, the route, the risk.
When must you give this and under what circumstances will you give this injection?
Please also recall any other reason Rhogam would be given, and when.
