Is a signed consent required for RhIG administration?

[knelson]

Does anyone require patients to sign a consent prior to administration of RhIG?

Women's Services has the patient sign a "Consent for the Administration of Blood Products" upon admission and this covers the RhoGAM as well.

This is the way it should be, if at all.  The blood bank / transfusion service has better things to be doing than worrying about consents being explained and signed.  Just my 2 cents worth.
