Final answer:
The nurse assures a patient who has become sensitized to the Rh antigen that she can be protected for future pregnancies by receiving injections of: RhoGAM.
The correct option is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Rh sensitization occurs when an Rh-negative individual is exposed to Rh-positive blood, which can happen during childbirth, blood transfusions, or miscarriage. If an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive fetus, there's a risk of sensitization where the mother's immune system may produce antibodies against Rh-positive blood.
RhoGAM is a medication used to prevent Rh sensitization in Rh-negative individuals by blocking the immune response to Rh-positive blood cells, protecting future pregnancies from potential complications due to Rh incompatibility.
So, the correct option is C.
