Correct Answer:
Have your child sit with her head tilted forward and hold pressure on her nose for 10 minutes.
Rationale:
💠 This position prevents aspiration of blood and allows visualization of bleeding.
💠 Holding pressure at the nares helps compress vessels and stops the bleed.
💠 Tilting forward reduces risk of blood flow into the pharynx, which can trigger vomiting.
💠 Applying pressure for at least 10 minutes is necessary for clot formation.
💠 Essential in clients with von Willebrand disease, who have impaired clotting.
