Question 1 of 5
Which is the correct positioning of a child experiencing epistaxis:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct positioning for a child experiencing epistaxis (nosebleed) is option D: the child should sit up and lean forward. This position helps prevent blood from flowing down the throat, reducing the risk of choking or aspiration. Sitting up also helps to reduce blood pressure in the vessels of the nose, aiding in the clotting process. Placing the child in a prone position (option
A) can lead to blood flowing down the throat, causing potential airway obstruction. Placing the child in a supine position (option
B) can also lead to blood going down the throat and may increase the risk of aspiration. Sitting with the head tilted back (option
C) is not recommended as it can lead to blood running down the back of the throat and potentially into the airway.
Therefore, option D is the correct choice for managing epistaxis in a child.
