Description Sofia's prior respiratory distress has resolved, but increasing jaundice is now noted, and the bilirubin level is reported to be 16. She has been diagnosed with hyperbilirubinemia, possibly caused by erythroblastosis fetalis. Sofia is diapered and placed in an incubator under phototherapy lights. Questions 1. What factors lead to hyperbilirubinemia caused by erythroblastosis fetalis? 2. What are the safety measures involved in the nursing care of Sofia while she is in the incubator? 3. If an exchange transfusion is needed, the nurse is responsible for checking the label on the container of blood to be infused. Tess is Rh negative, and baby Sofia is Rh positive. Which type of blood will Sofia be given? Why?
