A nurse correctly explains to a patient with a sprained wrist that cold therapy will relieve pain better than would heat by stating:
 
  1. Cold therapy decreases swelling and pressure on nearby nerves, which helps decrease pain.
  2. Heat therapy decreases swelling by constricting vessels and nerves, which can increase discomfort.
  3. Heat therapy decreases pain by increasing oxygen and nutrients to the injured area.
  4. Cold therapy increases the inflammatory process, which speeds healing and decreases discomfort.
