Question: 1 / 400

What can a cold pack be applied to relieve?

Edema

Burn

Hematoma

A cold pack can be applied to relieve a hematoma. A hematoma is a localized collection of blood outside of a blood vessel, often caused by an injury or trauma. Applying a cold pack can help reduce swelling and pain in the affected area and promote healing. However, applying a cold pack would not be effective for edema or swelling caused by excess fluid in the body's tissues, a burn, or a fever. Edema would require diuretics or other medication to reduce fluid retention, a burn would require proper wound care and pain management, and a fever would require measures such as drinking fluids and taking appropriate medication to bring down the body's temperature.
