The nurse is providing information to the mother of a newborn with jaundice about the diagnostic tests used to identify blood abnormalities that may contribute to hyperbilirubinemia. The mother asks the nurse about the significance of the indirect Coombs’ and the direct Coombs’. What information should the nurse include?Select all that apply1. During pregnancy, an Rh-negative mother will have blood drawn for an indirect Coombs’ test to identify the presence of antibodies against fetal blood2. When an infant is jaundiced, the infant’s blood type and a direct Coombs’ are performed3. A positive direct Coomb’s test indicates that antibodies from the mother have attached to the infant’s red blood cells4. RhoGAM is administered to the sensitized Rh-negative woman at 28 weeks5. RhoGAM prevents the development of Rh antibodies that would result in destruction of fetal erythrocytes in later pregnancies
