A child who has hemophilia.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a parent of a child who has hemophilia how to control a minor bleeding episode. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I will apply heat." Heat can worsen bleeding in hemophilia by dilating blood vessels and increasing blood flow. Elevating the affected part helps reduce bleeding by allowing gravity to slow down blood flow. Resting prevents further injury that can exacerbate bleeding. Compressing the site with pressure helps stop bleeding by promoting clot formation.
Therefore, applying heat is the incorrect choice as it can potentially worsen the bleeding episode.
