A nurse is teaching a parent of a child who has hemophilia how to control a minor bleeding episode. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates a need for further teaching?

Rationale: A. Elevating the affected part helps reduce blood flow and bleeding. B. Applying heat indicates a need for further teaching. Heat causes vasodilation, which can worsen bleeding. Instead, cold packs should be applied to promote vasoconstriction. C. Resting the affected area is appropriate because activity can increase bleeding. D. Compression of the site helps control bleeding through direct pressure.
