How should you treat bleeding?

  1. Wash the wound with water

  2. Apply pressure and elevate; do not remove anything stuck in them

  3. Use a tourniquet immediately

  4. Bandage loosely and seek help

The correct answer is: Apply pressure and elevate; do not remove anything stuck in them

It is important to apply pressure on the wound to help stop the bleeding. Elevating the wound above the level of the heart can also help reduce blood flow. It is important to not remove any objects stuck in the wound as they may be keeping the bleeding under control. Using a tourniquet should only be done as a last resort in severe situations. Bandaging the wound loosely will allow for proper circulation and help prevent further damage. Seeking medical help is also important in case the bleeding is severe or there is a risk of infection.
