Explanation Correct answer A: Jehovah’s Witnesses do not believe in accepting blood products, but the nurse should make sure the client is aware that, without the injection, her next pregnancy could result in an infant with erythroblastosis fetalis. However, with the injection her religious belief might be compromised: Rhogam is a blood product.
