A mother brought her child to the clinic with nose bleeding. The nurse showed the mother the most appropriate position for the child which is:

low back rest
moderate back rest
Lying semi flat
Sitting up

Explanation

Answer: D - This position will minimize the amount of blood pressure in nasal vessels and keep blood moving forward not back into the nasopharynx, which will have the choking sensation and increase risk of aspiration. Other options are inappropriate because they can cause blood to enter the nasopharynx.
