Question: 1 / 400

Hot and cold compresses should be applied for no more than:

10 to 15 min

Hot and cold compresses should be applied for no more than 10 to 15 minutes at a time because prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can cause damage to the skin and tissues. Applying compresses for longer than 15 minutes can increase the risk of injury and discomfort. Option B 15 to 20 minutes is too long and can lead to potential harm. Option C: 20 to 25 minutes is even longer, and should definitely be avoided. Option D: 5 to 10 minutes may not be enough time for the compresses to take effect and provide relief. Therefore, option A is the safest and most effective choice.
