    Which presents the greatest risk to the child with hemophilia?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Intracranial bleeding: This is the most life-threatening complication of hemophilia, often from trauma. It may occur even with minor head injuries and can be fatal if not treated rapidly. B. Hematuria: Though concerning, it is not as life-threatening as intracranial hemorrhage. C. Hemarthrosis: Common in hemophilia, but it’s manageable and less immediately dangerous. D. Iron deficiency anemia: Not a typical risk in hemophilia; the bleeding is due to clotting factor deficiency, not chronic blood loss.
