  • 1.  Rhogam Use in OB Clinics

    Posted 10-27-2023 15:30

    Hello- I am looking to benchmark this community about Rhogam use in your OB Clinic. Here are the questions that I am looking to have answered:

    Do you administer Rhogam in your OB clinic?

    Name of healthcare organization:

    Is a blood consent required prior to administering Rhogam?

    Is Rhogam considered a "High Risk" medication in your clinic?

    Do nurses perform a "double check" with another nurse before giving Rhogam?

    Thank you in advance for your time and contribution.
