    A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a child who has hemophilia about the care of an injury that causes bleeding. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Performing passive range-of-motion exercises can cause further bleeding and should be avoided during an acute injury. B. Applying an ice pack helps to constrict blood vessels, reduce bleeding, and minimize swelling, making it a recommended action for managing injuries in hemophilia. C. Positioning the injured extremity below the level of the heart can increase blood flow to the area and worsen the bleeding. D. Administering ibuprofen is not recommended as it can inhibit platelet function and increase the risk of bleeding. Acetaminophen is a safer alternative for pain relief in children with hemophilia.
