A woman tells the nurse that her 6-year-old daughter has severe nosebleeds. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give this woman to manage nosebleeds
A. Help the child assume a comfortable position with her head tilted backward.
B. Tilt the child’s head backward and place firm pressure on the nose.
C. Help the child lie on her stomach and collect the blood on a clean towel.
D. Place the child in a sitting position with her neck bent forward and apply firm pressure on the nasal septum.
参考答案：D
解析：For the initial management of nosebleed, the client should sit up and lean forward with the head tipped downward. The soft tissues of the nose should be compressed against the septum with the fingers. The traditional head-back position allows blood to flow down the throat and can trigger vomiting.
