Step-by-step explanation:
An Rh-positive pregnant patient should receive a Rogam shot.
True.
A drug known as RhoGAM, short for Rh immune globulin, can temporarily prevent the development of Rh antibodies in the Rh mother, thereby averting hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) or erythroblastosis fetalis for the fetus. RhoGAM antibodies destroy any fetal Rh erythrocytes that may cross the placental barrier.
