Question 1 of 5

A school-aged child develops a nosebleed (epistaxis). Which action should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Sit the child upright and apply pressure to the sides of the nose. This position helps reduce blood flow and prevents the blood from entering the throat, reducing the risk of choking. Applying pressure to the sides of the nose helps to compress the blood vessels and stop the bleeding. Turning the head to the side (
A) may lead to blood flowing into the throat. Elevating the head of the bed (
B) may increase blood flow due to gravity. Keeping the child flat (
D) can also lead to blood flowing into the throat. It is important to maintain a position that minimizes the risk of aspiration and promotes clot formation to stop the bleeding effectively.
