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.
