RH

Spanish to English Other Medical (general)
Estimados colegas,

Estoy traduciendo un certificado de nacimiento de Honduras.

Uno de los campos muestra: Tipo de Sangre, seguido de dos cuadros sin información alguna para Tipo-Código.
En seguida están las siglas RH y dos cuadros, el primero tiene una P y el segundo una N, ninguno está marcado. Tengo duda si RH se refiere al factor sanguíneo Rh y P - N a positivo o negativo. Teniendo en cuenta que ya hay dos cuadros para Tipo y Código, ¿no sería redundante lo demás? ¿Algún otro significado de esas siglas?

De antemano agradezco su ayuda.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Rachel Fell

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

RH

RH is an international term and there is no alternative that I know exists. You have positive or negative RH.
