Passage / Scenario
A child who has hemophiliaA nurse is reinforcing teaching about controlling a bleeding episode with a parent of a child who has hemophilia. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B because applying warm compresses can worsen bleeding in hemophilia by dilating blood vessels. Elevating the affected area helps reduce blood flow to the site, aiding in clot formation. Resting minimizes movement that could exacerbate bleeding. Promptly immobilizing the area helps reduce pain and prevent further bleeding. Therefore, the incorrect choice (B) contradicts the principles of managing bleeding in hemophilia.
