Ati Paediatrics Proctored Exam (Cni College)
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?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Applying heat is contraindicated during a bleeding episode because it can increase blood flow and worsen bleeding. Cold therapy, such as ice packs, is recommended to constrict blood vessels and reduce bleeding. B. Compressing the site is appropriate to help control bleeding and promote clot formation. C. Elevating the affected part above the level of the heart reduces blood flow to the area and helps limit bleeding. D. Having the child rest minimizes movement and trauma to the affected area, which supports hemostasis and prevents further injury.
