Answer:

Explanation:

Hemolytic Disease of the newborn (HDN, Erythroblastosis Fetalis) is a blood disorder occurring at or around birth, where the blood groups of the mother and baby are not compatible. It occurs when the antibodies from a Rhesus negative (Rh-negative) mother, who has been sensitized from previous pregnancies or other means (transfusion etc), gives birth to an Rh-positive baby, and the blood of the mother and the baby eventually mixes. This causes the anti-Rhesus antibodies in the mother's blood to attack the Rhesus antigen (Also Called Anti-D antigen) on the baby's red blood cells, causing hemolysis that leads to several unpleasant symptoms.

Children of Rh-positive mothers are not at risk of developing HDN, because the mother does not produce anti-Rh antibodies since she is positive, hence there will be no antibodies to cross the placenta and react with the baby's rhesus antigens for Rh-positive babies.

xenn [34]
Copper bracelets and magnetic wristbands are used relieve pain in people with arthritis. Studies conducted on these devices show that they have no efficacy on pain or on stiffness, two of the most characteristic symptoms of arthritis. Although there is no medical data to support the efficacy of the copper bracelet, the patient is not harmed or endangered by wearing it. Therefore, the nurse should respect the fact that the patient is feeling better, but he/she should urge the patient to continue with its prescribed medication.
