Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who requires cold applications with an ice bag to reduce the swelling and pain of an ankle injury. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Apply the bag for 30 min at a time. This duration is appropriate to achieve the desired therapeutic effect without causing tissue damage. Applying the ice bag for longer periods can lead to skin damage or frostbite due to extended cold exposure.
Choice B is incorrect as placing the ice bag directly on the skin can cause ice burn.
Choice C is incorrect as it is essential to remove excess air to maximize the contact between the ice and the affected area for effective cooling.
