Apostpartum rh-negative client is prescribed 300 mcg (1 vial) of rh immune globulin. the nurse evaluates the kleihauer-betke test report and finds that more than 30 ml of fetal blood is present in the maternal circulation. what is a priority action in this case?

In this case, the nurse must immediately report the result to the health-care provider in order to provide correct treatment or if it needs further testing to evaluate or monitor progression of the condition and if there is a need to change the therapy.

In addition, the Kleihauer-Betke test is used to assess the extent of maternal hemorrhage and calculate the amount of Rh immune globulin to be administered to the patient.
