Practice Question
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?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"l will apply heat."
Rationale:
🔷 Hemophilia is a genetic bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency in clotting factors (usually Factor VIII or IX), which leads to prolonged bleeding even from minor injuries.
🔷 The application of heat to a bleeding area is contraindicated because it causes vasodilation, which increases blood flow and can worsen bleeding.
🔷 The parent should instead apply cold compresses, which promote vasoconstriction and help reduce bleeding.
🔷 Other appropriate interventions include compression, elevation, and rest, which are part of the standard RICE protocol used to control bleeding and swelling.
