Solution
The incorrect statement about administering RhoGAM to an Rh- mother is: "RhoGAM will be administered to every Rh– mother after birth, even if her child is Rh-."
RhoGAM is a medication given to prevent an immune response in an Rh- mother who has an Rh+ baby. If the baby is also Rh-, there is no risk of an immune response, so the mother does not need to receive RhoGAM. Therefore, it is not administered to every Rh- mother after birth, but only to those who have an Rh+ baby.
