Hemolytic disease of the newborn is a risk during a subsequent pregnancy in which ________.

Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) can occur when the mother is
Rh positive, Rh positive
Rh positive, Rh negative
Rh negative, Rh positive
Rh negative, Rh negative
and the newborn is
Hemolytic disease of the newborn is a risk during asubsequent pregnancy in which ________.a. a type AB mother is carrying a type O fetus
b. a type O mother is carrying a type AB fetusc. an Rh+ mother is carrying an Rh− fetus
d. an Rh− mother is carrying a second Rh+ fetus
When a mother is Rh-, there is a chance the baby may have hemolytic disease of Newborns. Rh+
mothers do not have this issue.
Why? Rh- moms do not have the Rh antigen in their body. A Rh- mom can have a Rh+ baby
depending on the male sperm. During pregnancy, Rh- mom can be exposed to her baby's Rh
antigen.
Let's look at figure a) the first pregnancy. The Rh- mom is pregnant with a Rh+ baby. The baby
exposes the mom to Rh antigen during pregnancy. This first baby is delivered and is ok.
Figure (b) between pregnancies, the mother is exposed to the foreign antigen Rh and she makes
antibodies against Rh. She now has anti-D (anti-Rh) in her body.
Figure (c) her second pregnancy with a Rh+ baby. On the next pregnancy that the mom has with a
baby. The mom has the anti-D (anti-Rh) antibody in her system. The antibody will attack the
baby's RBCS with the Rh antigen on it.
When the baby's RBC's are attacked the RBC will hemolyse (hemo=RBC; Lysis=cut). This will
result in severe anemia. The lysed…

An Rh-negative female can usually carry an Rh-positive fetus to term without difficulty. However, if she has a second Rh-positive fetus, her body may launch an immune attack that causes hemolytic disease of the newborn.
