Ati nur223g paediatrics sect 2 final proctored exam
A nurse is teaching the parents of a child with frequent nosebleeds how to care for the child. Which statement by the parents indicate that the parents have understood the teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Sitting the child upright and forward while applying pressure to the sides of the nose is the correct approach to managing a nosebleed. This position prevents blood from flowing down the throat and helps stop the bleeding by applying direct pressure. B. Turning the child's head to the side and pressing on the nasal ridge is incorrect because it does not effectively control the bleeding and may cause blood to flow into the throat. C. Lying the child in bed and pressing on the forehead is not effective in controlling a nosebleed. D. Lying flat and applying pressure to the cheeks does not address the source of the bleeding and may worsen the situation.
