    A nurse is providing teaching about participating in sports to a 12-year-old child who has hemophilia. Which of the following sports should the nurse recommend?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Gymnastics: This sport involves a high risk of falls and joint injuries, which can cause bleeding episodes in children with hemophilia and should generally be avoided. B. Bowling: Bowling is a low-impact sport with minimal risk of trauma or injury, making it safer and more appropriate for children with hemophilia to participate in. C. Basketball: This is a high-impact, contact sport with a significant risk of collisions and falls, increasing the chance of bleeding episodes in hemophilia. D. Soccer: Soccer involves running, sudden stops, and physical contact, which can increase the risk of injuries and bleeding in children with hemophilia.
