Question 5 of 5
A 17-year-old student enters the emergency department with a nosebleed that won't quit. Which of the following positions is recommended for the patient with a nosebleed?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The recommended position for a patient with a nosebleed is sitting up and leaning slightly forward. This position helps prevent blood from flowing down the back of the throat, which can cause gagging, choking, or vomiting. Leaning forward also helps to prevent blood from accumulating in the sinuses, reducing the risk of aspiration. Additionally, this position allows easy access to apply pressure to the nostrils to help stop the bleeding. It is essential to avoid lying down or tilting the head back, as this can lead to swallowing blood and potentially cause further complications.
