Adolescent with hemophilia
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing an adolescent child with the diagnosis of hemophilia. In which part of the body would the nurse expect bleeding to occur?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Joints. Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that impairs blood clotting, leading to prolonged bleeding. In hemophilia, bleeding typically occurs in joints due to spontaneous or minor trauma. The synovial membrane within joints is particularly susceptible to bleeding. This can lead to symptoms like joint pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. Bleeding in the intestines, brain, or pericardium is less common in hemophilia as these areas are not typically exposed to trauma in the same way joints are.
Therefore, the nurse would expect bleeding to occur in the joints of an adolescent child diagnosed with hemophilia.
