a) Encouraging participation in contact sports

b) Applying pressure to bleeding sites

c) Administering prescribed factor replacement

d) Ensuring the child wears protective gear

Final answer:

The mother's statement that indicates a need for further instructions is a) I'll encourage my child to participate in contact sports.

The mother's statement that indicates a need for further instructions is a) I'll encourage my child to participate in contact sports. This statement is incorrect because children with hemophilia should avoid contact sports and activities that carry a risk of injury or bleeding. It is important to educate the mother about the potential dangers of contact sports for a child with hemophilia and provide alternative activities that are safe for the child. The other statements made by the mother, b) I'll apply pressure to any bleeding site with a clean cloth, c) I'll administer the prescribed factor replacement as scheduled, and d) I'll make sure my child wears protective gear during activities, are all correct and indicate that the mother understands the necessary care and precautions for a child with hemophilia.
