A nurse is providing education to a 10-year-old child newly diagnosed with hemophilia and their parents. The parents state that they are withdrawing their child from participating in any sports or physical activities because they are worried the child will get injured. Which of the following statements made by the nurse is most appropriate?

A. Prohibiting all activities such as biking or skateboarding can lead to social isolation, decreased self-esteem, and limited physical development. While high-risk activities should be avoided, biking with proper protective equipment can be safe. B. Allowing unrestricted participation in any sport (such as football, hockey, or wrestling) is unsafe due to the high risk of injury and bleeding in a child with hemophilia. C. Restricting all sports or physical activity is not appropriate. Physical activity is essential for normal growth, development, socialization, and maintaining joint mobility in children with hemophilia. D. Encouraging age-appropriate activities with protective gear (such as swimming, biking with a helmet, and non-contact sports) provides a safe balance. It supports physical, social, and emotional development while minimizing the risk of injury and bleeding episodes.
