Ati paediatrics nursing assessment proctored exam
A nurse is developing a plan of care for a 4-year-old child who has hemophilia and is experiencing acute hemarthrosis. Which of the following Interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Have the child perform passive range-of-motion exercises: Passive range-of-motion exercises can worsen bleeding into the joint. Movement should be avoided during the acute phase. B. Administer aspirin as needed for pain: Aspirin increases the risk of bleeding because it inhibits platelet function. It is contraindicated in hemophilia. C. Place ice packs on the affected joints: Ice helps reduce swelling and pain associated with bleeding into joints (hemarthrosis), a common complication in hemophilia. D. Position the lower extremities below the level of the heart: Lowering extremities can increase blood pooling and swelling; elevation is preferred to reduce swelling.
